Ruger, Winchester or Remington who makes a better

[FlyGuy]

Winchester Model 70 or Ruger #1

Then again, a 7x57 in any decent bolt action is a pleasure to own.
Been fiddling with loads for a friends 7x57 M03, and the numbers are impressive.

I got lucky and found an unfired New Haven built Mod 70 featherweight 7x57 a few months ago, beautiful rifle. They are out there, just got to look and be patient.

Yes, there are some out there, but they are few and far between. I would not plan on buying one in a short time frame.

My first and only 7x57 Mauser 98. Even with my old eyes and open sights it will hold 2” groups at a 100 yards with 175 grain round nose bullets.

SAKO, but of the three you listed, Winchester.

My only 7x57 is a Remington Model 700 "Mountain Rifle."

I've taken a couple of deer with it, but I wish it was a bit more accurate.

About 2 MOA is the best I've been able to do.

There is one https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1072145049. He is willing to bring it down to $1750. I still feel it may be overpriced.

+1 Winchester Model 70 CRF, New Haven made.
458 B&M, 300 WSM & 243 Win, all are stainless M70’s New Havens.
I’ve tried them all plus customs, always come back to the basics and win every time!

None of them offer a rifle in 7x57mm Mauser anymore, but they all once did. My personal favorite would have to be the Remington Model 30 Express.

My own 7x57mm Mauser is an English E.J Churchill Gun Makers Model Deluxe and it’s been serving me dutifully ever since 1989.

@Hunter-Habib
The Remington model 30s is a M17 Enfield action.
Remington had a heap of M17s parts leftover after the war so they lightened them and turned them into to 30 and 30s. My 35 Whelen AI is styled and lightened to the same specs as the 30s but I left the dog leg bolt. Great rifles.

I was surfing around earlier & stumbled across a Winchester M70 7x57 that was coming up for auction soon. The bolt is on the wrong side of the rifle so it's of no use to a leftie like me...

That's a nice gun. Too bad it has an Cabalas logo engraved on the floor plate.
