What Have You Killed with the 7x57

[MS 9x56]

3 whitetail deer.

Remington Model 700 "Mountain Rifle." It's not the most accurate rifle in my arsenal, but has worked well enough within 200 M.


I shoot these, they make a nice holes in targets and are as accurate as my rifle.

7 × 57 – SPCE (V330932) – 173 GRS – Sellier & Bellot

The S&B 173 SBCE groups very well in my mauser 98. The long throat really like the heavier bullets.

While waiting for his grandson:this one came around:

 

[Kraut]

Mauser 66, full stock, 7x57, Swarovski 1.5-6x42.

 

[MS 9x56]

Mauser 66, full stock, 7x57, Swarovski 1.5-6x42.

We really need a full length picture of such a fine example of craftsmanship.

Some photos of my two 7x57s. The FN did time as a client rifle and accounted for some nice animals with visiting hunters. Sadly I haven’t taken the Brno Mod21 out in long

A recent add on with the FN:

My father has a Brno ZKK 602 in 7x57 that he has since passed down to me. Has served myself and my family incredibly well and has most likely taken over 500 plains game with. Everything ranging from impala, BWB, kudu, warthog, eland, and gemsbok. I’ve attached a photo of my first animal I hunted with it and another more recent.

 

[Zkk93]

I have a Zkk 600 in 7x57.
Shooted 3 roebucks with Nosler BT 140 grains and a wild boar with factory Brenneke 177 Tig.

 

[Sheldor]

A lot of elk have been taken with the 7x57 and 140 grain bullets. I'd want something heavier but it is a fine rifle for most hunting in the lower 48. I've never heard anyone who owned one that didn't like the rifle.

Love the Brno mod 21 and 22, best commercial rifle ever made..

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.

Very nice. Congratulations!

I'm curious, which scope is that you have on there?

Very nice. Congratulations!

The scope is a Primary Arms 1-8 PLXC with the mil reticle. Great scope, 17 oz and a true 1 power.

Excellent eye relief and Field of view.

Excellent and welcome aboard! Fairbanks...I lived in Ft Yukon for awhile and worked all over the state. I miss Alaska.

@Green Chile just curious my friend…if you could live anywhere in Alaska where would that be?

 

[Green Chile]

That's a good question and depends on what kind of weather and environment you are looking for. There are many versions of Alaska to experience. I think the SE has a lot to offer...fishing and crabbing, bears, deer, goats, milder winters but a LOT more rain. One thing I will say is that some of Alaska has a lot of game density but large parts of it are like a desert with few animals and huge spaces in between. For fun, you should check out remote properties dot com and look at the various regions of Alaska and pricing for property there.

I also enjoyed living in Palmer (just north of Anchorage) as there are mountains and ocean right there along with conveniences of city life. That area gets a lot of snow also.
