Rated "Good".
I was intrigued by the big "boom" at first, but at the end of the day what counts is how forgiving a rifle is to my bad shooting. This one is ok.

IMO, the best rifle in the game. looks fantastic, sounds fantastic, kills big game on long distance, stable, 5 rounds magazine with quite quick reload, big variety of scopes. I bought that retail DVD (theHunter 2013) 1 hour after it has been released and immediatelly have fallen in love with it. this one is my primary weapon, level 17 actually

On the 57, it's range, the sound and that groovy orange wood keep it firmly entrenched in the cabinet in the front room instead of the shed out the back
Yes, I do love the 57 but it only gets "good" due to my current love affair with the 6.5.

This is an "excellent" rifle. I highly recommend it for any large game hunting at range, as the fast bullet speed and relatively little sway make taking long shots easy. You can attach the 12x50 scope to make shots at 200m+ with ease. It has excellent stopping power and a well placed shot will instantly drop a 450kg brown bear.
Here is an example of the killing power
I highly recommend you bring the 8x57 in combination with the 6x55 as they work extremely well together.

Rated "Good". The only reason I didn't go "Excellent" is a trivial reason, but I think it is VERY UGLY. Very good versatility though.
