I'll try this one more time before resorting to GunBroker.

I made a chamber cast and I am pretty dang sure this is a 7x57. I can take/send pictures of anything specific you would like to see and I'll try my best to answer any questions you may have. Shipping will be from a non-FFL in Western Pennsylvania... If you'd like to meet up and you're in my area, that's totally doable as well. Open to trades, but I am kind of particular. I've been looking for a Beretta s56e or S57e in 20 gauge, and I do like Kimber Montanas and Hunters depending on the caliber. You're welcome to reach out with a trade offer.

Oberndorf Mauser 98 sporting rifle in 7x57. Ribbed barrel, very good bore, hinged bottom metal, Redfield peep sight. Appears the rib started to lift from the barrel on the receiver end and someone used an epoxy to keep it on. Not the best work - looks like maybe Devcon? Checkered bolt handle, checkered steel buttplate and steel grip cap. Numbers are not fully matching throughout the gun for awareness. Decent trigger, bedded stock, etc. Chamber cast is a dead ringer for 7x57 by comparison to an S&B 7x57 cartridge. I am not a gunsmith though.

Price reduced to $700 plus shipping. Please look at the pictures and ask whatever questions you may have.

I would be interested in the ruger if the other guy is not.

Sorry to see your troubles on pricing.

Happy to call you and talk about experience…I’m also a Minnesota guy.
