Have a look at my write up on my web site. http://www.angelfire.com/ma/ZERMEL/280AI.html

I can vouch for the 257 Roberts having made 32 one shot kills on deer and Antelope. Using 100gr Barns-X bullets only, which I Moly plate ala NECO. My last deer was a running shot at about 100 yrds. at a 250lbs buck. The rifle is an H&R single shot completly custom. Every part was either rebuilt...

picketpin. Thanks for the reply. I also have a 257 Roberts a completely customized H&R rebored 223. This has been my go to deer rifle for some time. It is a fine cal. You can seeit on my web site "'Fred The Reloader". It shoots as good as the best bolt action. Fred M.

In 1962 I send a request to Ruger for a Ruger#1 in 257Wby Mag. They answered me back and said, we might make one next year. Well you know that next year was 2015, that is 53 years later, long enough for a man to die :). How sad! I always wanted a 257 Wby #1 and send a suitable barreled action to...

This is one very fine rifle in my favorite caliber. Many years ago I requested from Ruger to build me a 257Wby. They did not at that time chamber for the 257Wby I think it was around 1962. They said we might next year but never did. 2 years ago I send a Ruger 26" barrel/action to Ron Smith who...

I have a custom 257 Roberts, 24" octagon barrel. It is an H&R break open. This rifle is deadly on deer and antelope. I love that caliber. Mostly one shot kills. I think that the RSI with the short 20" barrel is not too good in cal 257 Bob. Same as the 243 they need longer barrels. The new ones...

Where can I get one, does any one have one for sale?

The gun is a Ruger#3 with #1 wood with Alexander forearm. This rifle is a super shooter both with factory 200gr and 225gr handloads, in cal 375 Winchester it has a VariXIII 1.5-5 Leupold scope. The gun has a Pachmyer recoil pad. $800.00 shipped. Recent 3 shot group at 200yrds was 1.5". I think...

An emty box. It's stupid.

I have a 9.3x74R it has a heavy ugly barrel, not needed for that caliber. Don't know what contour it is. But it needs to be slimmed down, don't know yet how, round or octagon. The sigh and the 1/4 rib t got to go too. That rifle is too barrel heavy for me, need to have cross-sticks to hold it...

Here is my rebuild #3, it had the stock broken through the crip. I modified the leaver the standard one would hurt my knuckles. This is an outstanding caliber. This rifle is super accurate with three shots in one hole at 100 yards. That is witrh both handloads an the regular factory Win ammo. It...

I have 4 rebored rifles all dne by Ron Smith. Thge are simply target grade super accurate. A new one being done right now in 257Wby. They are quite a bit less money than a new barrel. Besides at the time of take down I do them octagon which adds some class and reduces some weight. I find most...

My 7x57 AB does not look all that bad since I put on a scope. This one is almost like new in box. Although it never came in a Ruger box. Some times later I remodel a "B" forearm to a Henry one that has been kicking around. Which would loose 3-4 oz. Put one a set of Weaver bases with Burris...

Roof. Well Brownell don't have them in stock, and back ordered the ejector. God knows how long that is going to take. Perhaps Ruger is not supplying ejectors to Brownell. I am having bad vibes.

Roof inspector. Thanks for the info. On Monday I will order a S126 from Brownell and that should do the trick. I hope they wont give me any trouble with shipping to Canada. I had several Items refused they were not allowed to ship to Canada. This is crazy we are being chastized by both sides. I...
