Today’s acquisition

Through a series of three trades I ended up with this 1979 1A 7x57 today. It’s got a really nice Weaver t-10 microtrac I’ll probably put it on my 1BH 30-06 and find me a nice Weaver v4.5 or maybe a v7 for this guy. Didn’t need another 7 Mauser but the deals were just far too good to pass up.
Nothing special or rare about it, but really who doesn’t like looking at another no.1?

Took this years whitetail with my 7x57 RSI. Maybe the 1A next year?

That's a nice buck. The NO1 7x57 did it's job. Looking forward to seeing what your 1A will do next year.

What load do you use in your # 1 7x57 ?
My # 1-A shoots extremely well with the factory Federal 175 gr softnose .

I haven’t worked up a load for this rifle yet. I have a load for my RSI with 140 Nosler ballistic tip and IMR 4350 but have also found both shoot well with factory 140gr Sellier and Beloit.
