My custom small-ring 98 Mauser has a 24 inch barrel, and is one sweet shooter and very handy. I imagine a 26 inch barrel would give slightly greater velocity.
Why not get a 280 Rem?

Because this thread is about 7x57
That's the correct answer!
I know, because I've got 4 of 'em. BRNO ZKK, Rem 700 Classic, Ruger Mark II, Win 70 Featherweight.

I have one and a 7X64 and a 7mmRM and a 7-08 and a 7 RUM, what I don't have is a 7X57!!!!
You REALLY SHOULD sell me your 700 Classic, 7X57............REALLY!!!!
Ha ha. Actually, I might just do that. I've been thinking about making some room in the cabinet. Honestly, it is one of the few rifles I own that likes just about anything you feed it.
Yes you really should, it would fit in so nicely with my 257 Bob, 35 Whelen and 375 H&H ("TRUE KING") that I have now in 700 Classics.

Doug, you need a .416 Rigby, then with the edition of the 7X57 you could have a brace of Rigbys; a .275 and a .416 . . . although they would properly be Mausers and identical except for chambering.
Boomer, I have a Rigby in a 602 Brno.
Heh, Heh, Douglas.....I have a 700 "Classic" in 7x57, but it will be with me as long as
I can pull the trigger, lol.
Have no yearning to AI it either, since I figure 2950 with a 140 about does whatever is needed with this centenarian+.
The moose I have shot seem to think it was more than adequate, too.
Regards, Dave.
Dave;
No great need for the AI either just with a 26" tube one could make use of the extra powder capacity. I would never do that to a 700 Classic either, but a new manufacture Winchester on the other hand...........
I do believe if memory serves you have one in 6.5X55 as well.
Boomer I would love to have a 600 full stock in 7X57 with a butter knife bolt handle and 19" tube, good peep sights and classic sling swivels...............

I posted an interest on HBC, but have hesitated since finding out about the barrel length and cannot decide.
Trouble is, my old tried and true 7X57 has a 24" bbl., and to ne that seems more than adequate.
Probably by the time I make up my mind they will all be sold.....
I wonder the same 1899, I had an old one in 300 WM and it only had a 24" as do all the new WSMs..........can't see any logic in putting such a tube on a 7X57. It just doesn't make any sense what-so-ever, so I wonder if it is in fact a typo.

It would be an awfully long skinny twig of a barrel. Then again, they could trying to save on barrel blanks by using the same ones from their 7RM.
