I understand if you want a 257 BOB rather than a hotter 25. If so there is no reason for a long action. Find a minty Remington 722 and you'll have one of the most accurate rifles ever to leave a factory. In fact ANY 722 or 721 is a far better rifle than than its successor. Little things like cut rifling, a real blue job and an adjustable trigger that really adjusts and an action as smooth as greased kitty litter, keep me buying them.

721 AC 300 H&H, kills whatever it is shot at since 1952!
