The 7x57 I have is a Chilean Mauser 95 of Berlin mfr origin. Plan on using RL-22 or 17 with a Hornady 162gr ELD-X bullet. Scope will likely be a Nikon Prostaff 5 4-16x40 1/8 MILDOT per click 1" tube dia; or a Primary Arms 4-14x40 w/30mm tube dia and Leupold mount/rings. Not sure yet; but I tend to lean towards Nikon optics, as I already have a couple of their scopes and like the optical clarity and accuracy.

It is at the Smithy's shop ATM. Getting a new stock/glass bedding/barrel float. The barrel is a 21" Midway USA 'special' Green Mountain barrel lapped/crowned/blued by the 'smith; it has a 1:9 1/2 twist rate. The receiver is also getting a couple of gas relief holes milled in the sides between the bolt face and the back of the chamber - as a safety measure. Like the '06 Springfield uses. Probably will put a lighter sear spring kit in it and clean it up with a china stone in order to get a ~3 lb trigger break.

Thanks for asking.
