Only thing I can think of is about 25+ years ago Kimber of Oregon brought out a line of inexpensive rifles on surplus 96 and 98 actions (don't remember 93 actions being used). The actions were matte blued, had fluted stainless barrels, and came in Gentry-designed "Rough Rider" stocks by Butler Creek. They came in a variety of cartridges including 257 Roberts... I had one on a 98 action that didn't shoot worth a crap.[/quote]
Fred Meyer up here in Eagle River AK had several of those rebarreled model 98,s that were reworked by Kimber of Oregon various calibers.
Was told that Kimber and Fred Meyer both in Oregon had close connections. Now Fred Meyers quit selling guns.
