Very nice rifle. And, you can't go wrong with that chambering.
Yep, for sure.
And, I like it even better than the 257 Wby for what I do. The Wby will reach out better, but I have other rounds for that. Turned my MkV .257 Wby into a Brux barreled 8 twist 7RM, dropped it in a Wby Express McWoody. See below. Loves the heavies.
For WT's and hogs locally, the 257R is hard to beat. IMO, performes way above it's weight class...
