Are there any new production rifles chambered in 7x57 Mauser or 6.5x55 Swede ? I've been eyeing the Sako model 85 Bavarian but I'd like some more options.
I don't think I've seen a factory rifle chambered in 7x57 in several years. CZ offered a 6.x5x55 several years ago in their 550FS, and I picked one of those up but they've since been discontinued. Sako does still offer a 6.5x55, 8x57, and some other Euro chamberings but I didn't see a 7x57 among them. If you're up for spending some dough, here's some smaller production/custom options:

ER Shaw will build either in their Mark VII and Mark X rifles with multiple twists available. I've got an early Mark VII in .300 Win Mag, it's a good shooter.
