Ethan made me think about the old 8x57 Mauser...

Most will remember the Remington 700 Classic Series. A very nice gun built back when Remington built top notch guns. It was built in a "Classic" Cartridge every year.

This old Warhorse was my Dad's favorite caliber. The year he died also marked the last year Remington offered the Classic. Whether coincidence or sign, I don't know. But, do know it was offered in 8x57 Mauser.

I asked no questions in buying one. I love the old rounds and this one is the full equal of the 30-06.

I own very few bolt action rifles, but this one made the short list for Africa.

The 6.5s are all the rage stateside these days. The 275 Rigby (aka 7x57 Mauser) is making a good comeback too. I hope one day Americans see the 8mm for the great round it is.
