If you go by what's popular then you're stuck with McDonald's food and gas station coffee. Lol Wait, you don't love gas station coffee? Please, for the love of God, don't tell me you turn your nose up at gas station roller grill hot dogs. I've had a lot of gas station/convenience store coffee that was actually not bad at all. Same with the hot dogs. As to a .257 Roberts, I've never shot one but I sure bet I'd be happy with one if it were stainless and synthetic.

I dont have an opinion of the 257 Roberts other than the 270win can shoot bullets that arent much heavier as can the 6.5 creed and they are much easier to find factory ammo and components. In that way they 257 is quite inferior but thats an facet and not a knock on the actual use afield.
One thing that is nice about the 257 is some of you folks have some beautiful stocked rifles in the cal. Very nice.

Nice read.. You folks have a far higher opinion of the Roberts than I do.. Yes, but remember that this opinion is founded in some considerable experience as well as a fondness for nostalgia. It's been around a long time and can stand up to the 6 MM rounds with full adequacy. it's every bit as good as the comments in this thread say it is.

The .257 Bob deserves a nice blued walnut rifle with a fixed power scope like a gloss 6x36. Save the stainless for the Creedmoor.

I'd add a stainless synthetic Featherweight to my collection if Winchester were to make one.

Think of it this way: which would you rather have, A) a pretty girl next door type with a button nose and freckles who'll make your life a joy, or B) a slinky fashion model who'll likely break your heart in the end? If the answer is A then the .257 Roberts is for you. If B is your choice get a Creedmoor or Weatherby of some sort.

If you choose option B you will soon be divorced and have to sell the creedmore to pay the attorney and will end up with the 257 in the end. Thats how it worked for me anyway.

GSP, are you actually going to subject that beautiful rifle to the brush and elements chasing whitetails?

Huntin’ the brush doesn’t mean the gun will get scarfed up.
