Question for Redneck or any of the others that have built a 257R on a SA Win Model 70.... How well does the SA handle this round as far as the magazine length and feeding from it are concerned? Any issues pro or con? I have a Classic (CRF) SA model 70 in 243 that aspires to be a 257 R someday, and I was wondering about this... Seeing as Redneck has agreed to do this, I surmise it will work a-ok as I know he knows his way around a Model 70 I would be very interested to hear how this has worked out for any others that have gone down this path as well. TIA, Bob

Lots of differing opinions about this, and some folks just flat won't build a .257 Roberts on a short action. When I was pondering doing so, I read several pieces by John Barsness (Mule Deer) saying it worked just fine. I was persuaded and Jim Kobe did the work for me. I believe I posted a picture early in this thread, perhaps on the first page. I have been completely satisfied with my short action Roberts.

BlackBart~ Lee sent me a measurement of "2.86" in my factory mag well WITHOUT any alterations and gave it the Big OK. Incidentally, mine is a factory Win. Classic Compact (New Haven). And even BETTER news is...this morning, MY BARREL SHOWED UP !! Not sure I'll be sleeping tonight.

Al and EDG,
Thanks for confirming that! I guess I will start saving my pennies to build a 257R on my little winnie. It will end up going back to Redneck as well I am sure.
Deg - a 257 on a compact will be a nice rig for sure! Look forward to seeing pics when she is done!
All the best!
Bob

Glad to pass along my aquired knowledge passed along to me by the fine members here at the fire. Talked to Lee today and I had to appologize to him at least once, prolly twice , cause I'm just about giddy over my first build. Things are moving along great ! Especially considering I waited so late in the year to get things going on this build and a stock from McMillan for my Win. 270. Won't be doing that again (for myself and everyone else involved). Lee has a top notch rep on here for his work. And that moves rite along into his personality. I've spoke to him several times over the last couple months. Good luck on your build and BTW, I already have my camera in hand...may even take one as its being delivered to the house Pics WILL be added soon !

Just picked it up this afternoon and couldn't wait to get the scope mounted !!! Might shoulda ordered the Talleys a bit lower..but when I shoulder it then open my eyes..its rite there. I'm no photographer, so the pics don't do it justice. Gotta get to the store tomorrow for some boom-dust and work up some loads....Thanks Lee !
