The 257 Roberts Classic was only made in 1982, on a short action and never in stainless.
This could be some distributor special but no Remington collector would ever recognize it as a Classic. None were stainless ever.
Sounds like a nice rifle and no doubt is a better rifle than the 82' 257 Bob Classic.
Hard to find anything like this for a tad more than a grand today.
Suggest you check with Roy Marcott to see if Remington ever built any short action cartridge on a long action.
WRONG AGAIN! Of course they made these. They actually made them in numerous chamberings over the years, in both long and short action calibers, with the exact setup he has.
