PJgunner, I can understand the problem with a 7x57 Mauser. It is still there today. A 7x57 Mauser reamer has a long throat for the 175 grain bullet. I bet if you had tried that bullet (or factory loads that had the 175) you would have found great accuracy. It is a lawyers delight to have a short throat 7x57 and have one blow from the owner putting 175 bullets into it. A long shot - you bet. But most gunsmiths use the standard reamer or mark the caliber line as a short throat. You have to defend yourself.
Yours is a rare situation. The Taurus (Rossi) problem is getting worse - not better. Many shops do not return the firearms for warranty problems because of this. I tell customers to stay away from Taurus and Rossi for this reason.

Another option is to call your local law enforcment and BATF and report The gun as stolen. Report the history and tell them where the gun went.
