18lb rifle producing 31.9lbs recoil..........a 50 BMG maybe 7x57 is an awesome round...the mighty 270winchester is often compared to it...and thats good enough for this K1W1.

If the Mauser M18 in 7x57 makes it here it will be a nice option in what is a really solid performing rifle. Just hope that along with them is a supply of 7x57 ammo and components otherwise they...

It's better than the 7mm08 - it's got more capacity. It you load the 7mm Mauser to modern pressures it beats the 7mm08 with 140's and then doubles down with longer heavier bullets too. Due to the...

7x57 and 7x64 both great cartridges. 7x64 is EU equivalent of the 280. Agree with Husky1600 ... they never went away, just belong to discerning owners. Good to see some newer rifles coming out...

Mauser has announced they will now chamber two models of the M18 and three models of the M12 in 7 x 57. It was just announced on their Facebook site.

Like that glorious comment from Borat to the anti hunting protesters in rural England. Skip to 2:30. Quite possibly the best trolling i have ever seen. Worth a watch from the start too ...

I've had the AA and a Weihrauch HW95 (break barrel) in 22 and found them both hard to shoot well. 177 might be better. 20m would be a more realist range. I know everyone shoots deer at 500m but...

Had a bunch of Jap 750/4s in years past - some quick ones in their day amongst them eg FZ750, GSX 750 etc. But the one I'd have again tomorrow was a 1976 Honda CB750F. Nothing like the speed of the...
