Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 25-06 and 257 Roberts

Here's my .257 Roberts, a Ruger #1-A, that I bought thru Lipsey's. It took some work to get her to shoot, but it is now a 1 MOA shooter with Barnes TTSX bullets and H 100V powder. It's 22" barrel and short action makes for a very compact, easy to carry firearm for when I don't need a long-range rifle, like meat-hunting for whitetails and fallow deer in timber. Recoil feels very light and manageable, and the addition of a Jard trigger was a huge improvement in the factory trigger pull.
