[QUOTE="LoKei13, post: 1752941, member: 111914"] The first two are unknown. The rifle has no visible serial number or makers mark, only place I haven't looked is the underside of the barrel but I'm not too keen on taking off the barrel to get to it myself and funds are tight at the moment so a gunsmith isn't likely to happen right now either. I want to go out West in the next few years (hopefully) but right now I just get to hunt locally in the wooded hills of Eastern Missouri looking for white tail. How my gun is now is enough for what I'm doing but I'm trying to look at the long game (pun intended). My intention is just more info gathering, really. If I can reload and make this thing a longer range beast that can take down the bigger of NA big game the awesome. If it can't then I'll look into other caliber options (like the aforementioned 300 WM) that will be great out of the box but can be fine tuned. It's also easier to find a buddy or something that reloads 7-08 or 300 WM than it is 7x57 so I might be able to avoid the cost of equipment that way. [/QUOTE]
