It has a handsome stock. The figure is superb. The barrel looks like SS and a little heavy.

To me the 257R would be a coyote gun. Like my other game chambers it has too much bullet for chucks and I can shoot more gun at game. I am going hunting in an hour or so. My latest pet is a custom in 300 Win. Mag. Now that's really too much gun for here. Nice rifle however. Kind of wish it were a 257 R. in a way. On the other hand it does have more range.

I looked for factory ammo and all that WW listed was the 117gr?

Its just another cartridge that did not catch on. Otherwise it's the favorite of some and that's good.


All guns should be locked up when not in use!
