RE: 7X57
Larry, I concur with you 100%!! My first 7mm was a 7mm Rem. Mag. Ruger No.1, because they refused to make me a 7X57 or a .280! As soon as Ruger brought out the 7X57 (M77 round top) I bought one. Then, later, they started making the 1A in 7x57, and I got one of these also. I have subsequently obtained two Chilean M1935' s in 7X57, and a Venezuelan M1924 FN Mauser also a 7X57. These days, the 7 Mag. just gathers dust, and the 7X57' s go hunting!! (My son borrowed my Ruger M77 in the fall of 1976, and I have not been able to get it back!!)
