Hello friends and wealths of knowledge!
I inherited this rifle from my father. I can still remember the Xmas when I was younger that my mom had got the barrel places in a stock to suprise my dad. I'm not entirely sure he ever shot it. Anyway, enough backstory.
The barrel seems to be in perfect shape. Unfortunately I can find very little markings on it. It says 7x57 which I'm assuming is 7x57 Mauser. It has "301" on the barrel left side. I don't see any more writing on it anywhere. I've taken a ton of pictures. Hopefully one of you will have some info!
Can I / should I restock this barrel? I know it probably deserves a new scope.
I've got a ton of ammo for it!
Is 7x57 a good round?
Value of this rifle ball park?
Thank you all again for all the information you have shared with me in the past. In the words of the great Greek philosopher Dora, "I couldn't have done it with out you."
