Well this is a certain Mr Ses fault

[spike.t]

After @sestoppelman put his thread on about M98 prices rocketing , and as I said in it that there was a 7x57 here in the gunshop I had been playing with every time I went in and over quite a period....I went in and discussed terms....as 7500 workable..but 12000 plus not...so apparently I have handed over enough up to now ...as I went in yesterday and the licence was put in front of me....so my last 4 years of bday presents to myself is....

Congratulations @spike.t with this wonderful rifle! Hopefully it will serve you well for many years to come!

Will you be scoping it? Or keep it iron's only?
