my grandfather gave me this gun when I was younger and I'm just now sighting it in.Does anyone know if these guns are accurate. Ifthey are then my scope is bad because It's all over the place. Had three didn't shooters to make sure we weren'tpulling it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
There are just tons of different guns chambered for the old 7X57mm cartridge. Accuracy depends on the individual gun you have, not on the caretridge per se! Yes, the 7X57mm round is capable of great accuracy. I have three. One is a Ruger No. 1A, one is a Model 1924 FN-made Venezuelan Mauser, and the other is a Mannlicher Schoenauer. Both the Ruger and the M1924 FN are extremely accurate. The M/S is acceptable as well. Here isa 7X57mm 100-meter group from the Ruger.
