[degoins]

If I didn't already have an original Rigby .275, I'd jump on this Mauser....

I have my Ruger No. 1 RSI chambered in 275 Rigby setup with a Redfield 2-7x33. I'm using 140gr Rigby bullets (aka Hornady InterLock SP's).

Based on how well my Ruger No. 1A chambered in 303 British with 150gr InterLocks has worked on whitetail deer, I have a high level of confidence that this round combined with this compact slender rifle is going to be a really good option this fall in the southern woods where I hunt. I'm anxious to test it out.

Hello everyone,

I just got back from Namibia and decided it was about time I actually joined the forum. I love the 7x57 and also love this ancient thread, so I'll throw my first post here.

Alamo Precison Custom Rifle, 7x57
168 grain Barnes LRX @ 2640 fps.
(I can elaborate on the gun and load if anyone want the details)

Full pass through on the zebra at 90 yards, ran 50 yards, down.

Full pass through on the Wildebeest at 210 yards, ran 60 yards, down.

Also took a nice Baboon, he fell out of his tree...

Good expansion based on internals, very happy. Can't wait to head back over there with the same rifle.

Welcome from Texas!

Hey, what happened to your barrel? Looks like it’s all twisted and stuff.
