Had one of those; did the job just as well.7mm08
In a shorter action, and probably at a lower price than what a 7x57 will be
I love Remington for all their faults, they were big proponents of 7mm, bringing out 7mm Rem Mag, 280 Remington/Express and of course making the 7mm08 Wilcat a standardised case.
My 7mm Rem Mag Sendero and 7mm08 Model 7 are my current favourite rifles, one for long, one for short!
My CZ550 in 7x57 - absolute joy to shoot! I suspect I shall keep this for ever…

I’m a big advocate of Remington 700/7’s having had many and any custom barreled jobs I have are on older 700 actions . I hunted two or three seasons with a factory stainless fluted Sendero in 7mm Rem Mag , that gun was easily .4 MOA for three shots at 100 yards with handloaded Nosler 150 BT’s . Only downfall was how heavy the darn thing was , I had a Leupold Vari XIII 4.5-14AO on top . That was a great scope from when they first brought the 4.5-14 out and way before the change to VX3 designation .In a shorter action, and probably at a lower price than what a 7x57 will be

I’ve killed a fair amount of brown cloven hooved rats with a 7-08 and like the cartridge just fine . However in “practical field application” the 7x57 and 7-08 are the same thing in minutely different packages .7mm08
My Model 7 KS 7mm08 wears a Leupold Mk4 3.5-10x40, great fan of that scope and rifle combo.
Shame neither are made anymore!
Glad to see you have a proper length barrel 24/26'' on that lovely rifle.

What scope rings are these?
These - CZ 40012 CZ 550|557 Scope Rings 34mm Ring Set Low Aluminum Black Matte
Took me a long time to find one piece rings that were low enough! Didn’t want to use a Pic rail as I’ll not be swapping scopes.
I’m amazed at how nice it looks considering it’s a plane grade4.
Years ago I read “Maneaters of Kumaon” followed later in my reading by W.DM. Bells books. I aspired to owning one some day but that caliber is as scarce as hens teeth in this part of the world.
A number of years ago I acquired a Proctor 7x57.
This was followed 4 years ago by a Rigby 275. I can’t fault the caliber. Lovely rifles to shoot.
