Of course, I had to be different.One of my favorites for 40+ years is the rimmed version in an o/u combination gun.It's "legs" are long enough with the 173 gr H mantle, if properly sighted. In a moment of weakness,I tried to streach it's legs by going to 162 gr TIG , but went back after close shots resulted in too much damage.

Hello Folks
Great thread- I have a worn out Obendorf Sporter 7x57 (Intermediate action) that I hope to build on one day.
Gartenmeister would you be so kind as to give us a little more detail in respect to your wonderful rifle, builder etc would be good, but what inspired it would be even better.
Thanks
Foster

Gorgeous rifles in a really good old cartridge. The only 7 X 57 I have is the rimmed version in a Meffert drilling. I don't use it much but am fond of it.

MC,
Both shots were good shots, one in the shoulder and one slightly behind the shoulder. The TIG has a two part core with the front part being soft lead and fitting into a socket in the rear part.That and pretty high velocity makes a lot of damage.I was told the 177gr TIG wasn't as bad, but I went back to the 173gr HMKHS.

All beautiful rifles gentlemen, my only 7x57 is a lowly 22H Brno. Hopefully one one the grand kids will appreciate and keep it. --- John

this question is for anyone willing to answer,do you tend to use heavy bullets at modest velocities in your 7x57. Gartenmeister can you tell us about your rifle?
