Only if your last name is RobertsDoesn’t get any better than that!
That’s what mine is too, I’m a bit disappointed with it though, doesn’t shoot all that well. Don’t think I’ve ever got a group under 1-1/2” yet. Since I don’t hunt anymore and have plenty of 22 and 6mm varmint rifles I just haven’t shot it much. Really don’t have any need or use for it. But from my youth I always wanted one as well as a 35 Whelen, I have both and have no real use for either one. No, they aren’t for sale!Ruger Ultralight here. It's my favorite gun.

Looked for a long time for the “right one” found this early 80’s model 70 featherweight. Not a pre 64, but it will do.
BeautifulAnother favorable feature of the .257 Bob is that it is a an excellent candidate for custom rifles built on '98 style Mauser actions. This is due to the convenient fact that the Robert's case is based on the 7X57 Mauser cartridge, meaning that they feed and function smoothly in most Mauser actions with no need to adjust or tune the bolt face or extractor, receiver rails or magazine follower. The additional length is also beneficial to handloaders who have been frustrated by Remington rifles with short actions. This slick working custom .257 Bob was built around a '09 Argentine, with crested receiver ring.View attachment 979469 View attachment 979470 View attachment 979471 View attachment 979473
