I was looking for a .250-3000 in a Savage 99 at a collector show for the kid, but not finding one I bought a Remington 760 in a .257 Roberts instead. I had no idea that it was as collectible as you guys let on and I sold it when the kid lost interest in deer hunting. It was a good shooter like most of the 760's and sure milder on the back end than an '06 in a 760. A 141 in .35 Remington followed me home another time, but I wasn't sure why Remington thought that it needed a 24" barrel, so I "fixed" mine down to a cut and crowed 20 incher. Too heavy and overbuilt compared to the earlier 14's and that one hit the used rack too in preference to the afore mentioned M99F in a .300 Savage.
