, didn't they do the same type of thing in 257 Roberts? I may be wrong but I believe they did. Cabelas called it something like a "Supergrade Lightweight" or similar.

Cabela’s had white a few limited M70’s around that time - including a 300 wm and 458 wm. Here’s the 257: http://shootinginvestments.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1456

Beautiful rifles indeed - does anyone have a real vs spec sheet weight on them (the 7x57)? Thanks, PigGuy

I bought the last supergrade 7x57 at my local Cabelas. Marked down to $895 brand new in the box.
Mounted a Zeiss Conquest scope and loaded up some Barnes LRX and it shot a perfect clover leaf 1" high at the initial 50yard sight in.
That is the most perfect initial performance I ever saw from any rifle at any price point. Have used this cartridge since 1981 so have a fairly favorable view of both its competence and utility.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

This thread is the reason i went to the www and typed in Model 70 7x57 for sale, well, it was a Model 70, and a 7x57, just not a Super Grade Featherweight, may have to get one still.

I have one as well. Paid 1200-1250 for it a few months back. Pretty decent shooting rifle as well. Glad I snagged mine. And you stole that one Big B ; ]

Thanks Gunner. It is a nice little rifle, looking forward to shooting it some more as I clear up some other projects.

It’s a S&B 6x42 with the #4 reticle in it Mike. Pretty good scope for that rifle. It’s the Hungarian version, wished I’d gotten a few more of them for what I gave a few years back. I do have to google the adjustments since it’s not in English
