what is the weight
Posted By: efw Re: WTS Custom .257 Roberts - 03/18/15
Don't have a scale to weigh precisely, but over 9 lbs probably close to 10.

What is the action and magazine length?
Posted By: efw Re: WTS Custom .257 Roberts - 03/25/15
Taken from the Boyds web site:

Center to center of action screws = 7-5/8s" (small ring length ideal for 257 Rob, & 7x57)

Front receiver ring diameter = 1-3/8" (large ring size)

Overall length of Floorplate = 8-5/16"
Posted By: efw Re: WTS Custom .257 Roberts - 03/26/15
Just to be clear here the mag length is sufficient for seating 25 cal bullets pretty long, however it's a brand new barrel/chamber with a relatively short throat so "kiss" was about where base of 100 NBT is even with shoulder/neck juncture or just below.

IMHO a perfect set-up for a lifetime of steel, chuck, yote, and buck cappin.

if anything, i will make sure you get close to what you were looking for......good luck, lenny aka super accurate
This is such a nice looking mauser. I wish I wasn't off work for 6 months recovering from shoulder surgery. This would have already been mine. Good luck with your sale.
