Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors BACO 257 Roberts

I have a 257 Roberts R.M.E.F rifle. I believe its from 2012 or 13, with the box and paperwork. It appears to be have shot very little and I have maybe shot it 20 times maybe.
I have had it since 2014 or 15 and purchased it helping out a gentleman who had cancer.
Im thinking about thinning the heard and have 3 other 257 Rob in the safe. I am trying to find a value and didn’t see any on Gunbroker. Any idea of a fair asking price?
Thanks

Something about an RMEF rifle in 257 Rbts. seems incongruous, so you probably won't see RMEF boosters snapping it up. It will probably bring $1500, maybe a bit more.

I guess in less you were Bob Milek.😁
But I do see the R.M.E.F not adding much to any value. Thanks for your help.

This really should be posted on the Browning forums.

Come on it says Winchester on the side.

If I recall correctly, this is a featherweight, and the only identifying RMEF part is the pistol grip cap - which can easily be replaced. I don’t see it helping you, but I don’t see it hurting you too much either. I agree with grouse chaser that you are probably in the 14 to 16 range.

^^^^
Thanks and your right thats the only identifier.
I will probably be sorry if sell it. I just dont see me using it as I have others.

I'd like to see some pictures of it. Sounds like a great rifle.

Yeah, but Browning owns Winchester.. And Browning gave us that sweet MOA trigger which, for true M70 fans, is a 25-30% detriment to value..

Sure. But “true” m70 fans don’t represent the greater market. So that 25-30% detriment to value isn’t reflected in actual sale prices.

I will dig it out. Wish I could retrofit a classic trigger.
I have one laying around just in case

While I like and use the old trigger often, the new one needs a 5 buck spring and is really darned good. You got a good rifle.

Thanks
You have some pretty nice ones also.
Think Im going to move my 725 also

Whats the 725? I am not a Remington guy, but those make me pretty darned weak..

Really nice 270 uncut

Oh man...

You have a 280?

Yes sir

If you ever want to trade it for a left nut I would be your Huckleberry. That is one of the few rifles I regret selling 20-25 years ago.

Like I told RedDog, I don't usually seek Remington's, but the 725 I like quite alot. That 280 shoots man. I couldn't believe how well that old rifle did without much fuss.





It isn't a perfect rifle, but it's perfect enough
