Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds 257 Roberts 700 Mountain Rifle Long Action

I believe that it was made for the defunct distributor Lew Horton in Massachusetts. A LGS used to make a run down there periodically and pick up orders. He brought back a LA in 257 that I purchased and used for a few years. I got rid of it in my Remington purge.

I purchased a M700 mountain rifle in 257 Roberts for my daughter. Her's is the short action. I'm not a big M700 fan,but man that is a sweet little rifle. Someone is going to be happy with this one.

Will you PM what you want for the 257 Bob? Thanks

I agree I think that's one of Lew Hortons guns

^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^

This rifle is going to gunbroker auction tomorrow. Starts at 9pm auction number is 886607700. Penny start and no reserve, so anyone that is interested can check it out there. Then I will know Sunday evening at 9pm the answer to the original question as to the value of this rifle. Thanks to all for the input.

Wow...

Yeah I offered it to a guy here for 1700 shipped after all the post. He thought that was too much and I thought it would bring a little more. It did! The winning bidder had a total of $2280 out of pocket plus ffl fees on his end. Thats was shipping, credit card fee, and the rifle.

Well played...

Well played indeed.....if a fella had a few of those laying around to sell😀
