Blesbuck with open sights well done!!!!First hunt with my 7x57 in March 2023 produced these two rams in some stormy weather. Hopefully the rifle will still get a lot of opportunities.

The same rear site that was on the Mauser Model B 22lr I cut my hunting teeth on 47 years ago.....brilliant rifles....2nd black bear (color phased) I shot this spring of 2023 was with a 1912 Oberndorf Mauser in 7x57 using S&B 173gr SPCE. Iron sights. 100 yard shot. Double lung, bear went 40 yards and expired.

What a fantastic rifle combo .I use my Rigby 275 (7x57) on everything from wild dogs to buffalo and it is an absolute pleasure to shoot. Pictured here with a scrub bull. Other rifle is my Jeffery 404

Great ram!
Once upon a time, we were young.![]()
You noticed that too eh? I look like I’m a teenager and I was actually running the largest downstream oil system in Alaska at the time!
My 7x57 is a Heym SR20. Only used in the UK to date but it’s accounted for countless Muntjac, Chinese water deer, Roe, Fallow and Red deer.

Those Renner No.1's are very nice. I have both a No.1-A and a M77 Mark II in 7X57... shot many deer, bears and moose here in Canada... mostly with 150 Noslers or 154 Hornady SP's.Im presently shooting a RJ Renner custom Ruger in 7x57, but Ive owned half a dozen 7x57s over the last 50 or 60 years. Always handloaded with H414 or RL-19..Shot deer elk, Pronghorn, sheep, and most African PG and cape buffalo on cull many years ago..I consider it as good as a .270 in the field, but not on paper with less recoil. A fine caliber and hard to beat. It and the 250-3000 have always been my favorite light big game rifles.
