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

Was sure I had a point when I started this post...

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.

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.

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.....

Yep, that's what a 760 is!

Unpleasant!
