...and tell me if this is a good deal

Egyptian(?) 7mm Mauser (7x57?), scoped, looks like someone's baby (excellent bore, wood, etc)
(cheap scope - Tasco, but good mounting job w/rails)

they are trying to get rid of for ~$100. Is this a good buy? I currently have no scoped piece.

but 7x57 ammo is hard to come by, no?

Beetle,
IIRC the 7mm mausers were mostly South American.  I used to have one (a Chilian that I sporterized), sorry I sold it now.  They shoot very nicely, but new production ammo is fairly pricey (about $1 round in the 1980s) and I haven't seen surplus ammo for them in years.

If you like Mausers I'd suggest sticking with an 8mm mauser, unless you're into collecting.

Kinda pricey, but if you get it let me know through IM, I have a couple of boxes ofactory ammo, plus some brass and RCBS reloading dies if you would be interested in them. I use to have a 7x57 sold it during a bout of stupidity, now they are hard to come by. Shoot me a IM if you want to work out something on the ammo and dies, I have no use for them.
