The standard reference on 700s, Lacy's book, make no mention of any long action rifle being chambered for a short cartridge,


Awesome. Lacy's book was published before this rifle was made.

Regardless, you could also just Google the following.

remington 700 classic stainless 257 roberts

I've had one of these in my hands years ago in a local gun store. Super nice piece. Additionally, I've held in my hands the 700 short action ADL synthetic in .257 Roberts that I purchased from this very forum.

Another free bump for a sweet rig.
