Next I went to Gunbroker and typed in 37115 and there it was offered by Elk County Arms/Ammo.

Good luck and you all keep us posted!

That's a beautiful rifle. I've said I wouldn't buy anything else but old tang safety's. But even though I have a Roberts in a tang, I would have a hard time passing that up. I do like the Hawkeyes though.

At the range:
-fired 8 rounds of Norma 100g SP +P-during this time it started showing some real promise
-fired 3 rounds of Nosler 110g AB +P (100 yards) .368" group
-fired 3 more rounds (my friend did) of the Norma (100 yards) .618" group
-ran out of daylight, will go back soon to zero the Nosler AB load for whitetail deer hunting


Have a good day.

My MkII 257 Roberts has become my favorite deer/antelope rifle. Just wish it was about a pound lighter.

I tried a Hawkeye 77 .257 Roberts and I just could not get it to shoot under about 2 1/2 inches. I ended up trading it off. I have had many Rugers that shot extremely well, so I knew this was a fluke, lemon flavored. smile I was going to have it reamed out to the Ackley, but, no use gambling any further.

I was thinking about grabbing one of these until I tried to find some brass. Think I’ll stick with my new 243 for now.

Brass is a bit of an undue expense with the 257. I was lucky to grab up a bunch of new R-P before rem and WW stopped offering brass to loaders. The 243 has a couple or three practical advantages over the other, but I still do really like the 257. In the field you won't see any difference.

To the OP ....... Very nice rifle and perfect scope choice. I have the same on mine.
