Hi DCAMM94, There is indeed something just cool about those old FN
Commercials. The 9.3x62 is my piggy rifle of choice. Between the 257 and
the 9.3 sits my 7x64. It’s a Santa Barbara worked over by Voere. Is OK but not great.
I do know someone with a couple ’06 length FNs sitting in his workshop and he’d
love to build me a 7x64 on one of those… Scrummy |

I love my Model 7 MS .257 Roberts.....Bought it the first year the Custom Shop brought it out.
I have a customer that is located about 3 blocks from the factory and he's buddies with the supervisor of the Custom Shop. He called the shop one day and told them I had a 7MS and got me a tour of the shop. It was a neat tour. |

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.
It is the same when you are stupid. |

If you ever want to sell or trade that Model 7 I would be very interested.

Duly noted Chris.Its a honey. I believe I'm responsible for Ted buying the one he owns. When I was a kid I worked in a Gun & Tackle Shop and I fell in love with a Mannlicher Schoenauer that we had for sale that I couldn't afford and always said I would own one someday. I saw the 7MS at the Shot Show the year they brought it out and ordered it that day. |

I had a buddy that had a 600 or a 660 can't remember which in .350. Definitely will rattle your teeth. Even then I decided it was a young mans rifle like my 88 in .358!

My dad and I used to ogle those Mannlicher-Schoenauers back in the sixties. The bolts would just slide out, and then you tip the rifle down and the bolts just glided forward...
...still can't afford one.... |

By Alan Robertson :
".358 Winchester is built on a .308 case, but is unappreciated and gets close to Whelen velocities, with some loads. I think a BLR in .358Win is about it for a fast action big hog rifle." I knew a fellow some years ago, liked older & semi-obsolete stuff. He particularly liked Savage 99's. IIRC, he had at four in 358 Win. Asked me to work up a load for them. Gave me some brass and a '99A'. Offhand, it pointed like a shotgun. Boy did that thing shoot ! I don't think recoil was so bad. I've thought about re-barreling a Remington pump to 358 Win. Truly an under appreciated cartridge. Edited by hatton mann - May/05/2016 at 20:43 |

Think 358 would be a great wild boar cartridge...

Remington made some 760's in .35 Whelan.

That fellow I mentioned in my previous post had a remington pump in 35 Whelen. I shot that thing a few times. I thought recoil was noticeably 'stiff'.

The 300 Savage is so forgotten, they don't even mention it on the Forgotten cartridge threads..... " It might as well be the Minié ball! " |

Yep, that's what a 760 is! Unpleasant! |
