The 7 x 57 is apparently available in the CZ-550 line of rifles and in the Ruger 77. A Rem 700 Classic re-issue would be nice, as would the newer claw-extractor Win M-70. While they're at it, the 8 x 57 would be pretty cool in all the above, too.

Like KurtC said, I'd like to see the 77RSI offered in this caliber. It's a natural.
I can't find a factory rifle in that caliber I like, so I've got a MR1999 short action on order. With a mag length of 3.15", it's perfect for the X57 case. With a slim 22" Pac-Nor barrel in a walnut stock, and cut with a short throat more conducive to accuracy with the 140-weight bullets, it should be a fantastic little deer rifle.

I wish I had a carbine length South American military 98 in 7x57 Or any military gun (98) in 7x57, 7.65 argentine, etc. I'm so jealous of guys who find these at Dunham's / Big 5.

I would like to see Sako make more available for the US market European chamberings,i.e., 7x64. 9.3x62, 9.3x64, 6.5 SE, 7x57, 8x57, etc. I know it's all market drive, but I believe that there is a demand to be supplied.
