Hey guys,
Have a 257 Roberts (long action) that I'm wanting to rebarrel. I've got a 257 Bee that I've fallen madly in love with, so the Roberts is getting replaced.

I live and hunt in Texas and really don't need a different caliber, but where is the fun in that?

Thinking about (remember la - no mag bolt face) a new rifle that I could take out hunting when I want a change of pace.


- 240 Bee
- 6.5x55
- 6.5x284
- 280 - 280ai

Part of me wants a gun to shoot at the range (but my 17hmr and 22lr fill that itch). So, a barrel burner won't hurt my feelings). I also reload, so any of these calibers are cheap enough to reload for.

What say you fellas.
