Does any gun manufacturer still chamber this round? Can't seem to find any current listings.

Ruger does for sure. I have a newer No.1 International 7X57. Check their site.

Doesn't seem to be any bolt actions available though. Too bad. Nice classic caliber.

Can you still get BRNOs in 7X57?

Winchester used to chamber this round in their Model 70. I have one M70 Featherlight XTR that my nephew will be getting for Xmas.

So 444, besides the massive cool factor, what piques your interest in this round above and beyond its almost-twin, the 7mm-08?
I just ask because EVERYBODY makes the 7-08. And I'm not being facetious; I love the .280 Remington, but have zero interest in its .270 Win and 7mm Mag stablemates.

Just a nice classic round, and cool factor too
Another option is the equally cool 6.5x55.

tkv000, that is one of the KEWLEST rifles I've ever seen! If it were a .250 Savage it would REALLY be the bee's knees!
Can you tell the tale of that one? It's gorgeous.

I had it out right before the snow fall, Just before hunting season started. Using Remington Core Lokt factory greenbox ammo I put 5 under an inch, 4 of them touching, one flyer, but still in the inch, I couldn't belive when me and my wife walked downrange (no spotting scope) and I was hoping just to have landed all 5 on paper, let alone all in an inch. I was very happy that day. I can't wait to start handloading for it.
If the story is true, and I'm told Teds word is golden, than its quite a unique rifle.

Quick check of Ruger site shows 7X57 only in the No.1 and not 77. Really like my little No.1 International 7X57. Remington had their 1981 Classic chambered in 7X57 and Winchester's chambered it in recent years. CZ chambers the 7X64. I see a Brno 21 7X64 sold on the EE recently. I have a Brno in 7X57 also and they are not to hard to find if you have "deep pockets". Try search on "Hunting firearms" EE for 7X57. Someone had a custom job on an H&R Mauser action recently.

Gobles lists CZ550 Lux in 7x57 but no guarantee its in stock. Voere still chambers this round, and Wolverine and Gobles might be able to get one for you. Ruger chambers it only in the International full stock this year, try to find one. If you get any of these, post pics!!!

I have a custom 7x57 on a 96 muaser, with a timney trigger and a 26 inch Shilen barrel. Its another of those rifles that shoots what ever you want to feed it. For glass it has a Burris Signature 2-8x33 on top. I have sighted in bang on at 200 meters. The load that I finally settled on is a 140gr Barnes TSX bullet.FS
7x57mm
Got a 7x57mm in a Ruger Model 77 tangsafety I got off the EE here in one of the earliest incarnations of CGN. Was "as new" when I received it. It wears a B&L Elite 3000 3-9x40mm. Will print sub 1" with factory ammo if I do my part. Looking forward to working up some loads for it in the future. The 7x57mm is both a classic and fantastic ctg!

My 7x57 was built by Rembo, on a Rem 700 action, with a Beaven King stainless steel barrel and a remington synthetic stock. It is built along the Rem 700 Mountain Rifle countours, and is my favorite hunting rifle. It will shoot slightly less than 1" with handloaded 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tips. I've used it for the last three years and took 2 mule deer and 1 white tail buck, with one shot each. It's such a lightweight and easy handling rifle, I can't ever imagine selling it.
I did write Ruger an E-mail on their "tell the CEO" link, and asked if they would consider brining back the chambering in the Model 77. They replied that they had no plans on bringing it back, but would pass on the suggestion to the sales and marketing dept. Maybe if enough guys stumped for one, they might bring it back.
