Another New Addition
« on: October 16, 2013, 03:54:59 PM »
Couldn't resist........just had it sent to my local store.  Cabelas Limited Edition Winchester Model 70 Lightweight Supergrade in 7x57.   Guess I'm just a sucker for nice wood, not to mention a great caliber. :tup:

JUST JUST JUST JUST FREAKING  :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :salute: BEAUTIFUL.  With good glass and loading I hope it shoots as good as it looks and was built (what year). A sterling silver butt plate would be appropriate though or the like.

I borrowed a 7x57 Ruger M77 for an antelope hunt years ago, what a pleasure to shoot.  I have recommended it several times for novice/small shooters where recoil is a concern. 
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.
