Tophet1,

Are you referring to AFRO408's Vergueiro in 7x57? That's been up for sale and I've just bought it. I can't wait to get it and am very much looking forward to putting a few rounds through it. I've always had a soft spot for the 7mm Mauser, the first centrefire I shot as a kid.

I've got another Vergueiro in 8x57, which I fitted without too much trouble into a Boyd's classic walnut stock. It's off at the gunsmith having the barrel shortened, a butter knife bolt handle and some new sights fitted, as it'll make a great open sighted, short barrelled scrub gun.

BTW, this is my first post, as a long-time lurker. Love this forum.

Muzz.
