I just picked up a Shot Show special M70 Featherweight in 257 Roberts. Rifle and 200 rounds of ammo for $1000. Been looking for one of these for a while. I have one in 7x57 as well. I have a fixed 4x on hand, but may try to find a 6x. Pretty excited! I’ll get some pics up when I get it all put together.

Good cartridge match. I have that match in Ruger M 77s.
Put some pictures when you can.

Next year, passed on its twin for the same price.. Been kicking myself in the arse ever since... Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Just got back from vacation and put it all together. Mounted a Leupold 4x33 in low DD mounts and rings. If only they’d stop putting their logo on the top ring. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/9FYr8b2d/6-BFAEFFA-7-C55-4486-A59-B-F4-D7456951-C1.jpg) Matches my 7x57 real nice. I may switch scopes and put the 6x36 on the 257. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/NF3xtQDT/A218-CB55-ED7-B-4864-92-C3-4-D24-C909-F652.jpg)

I've got a 2012 Shot Show Featherweight in 257 Rob as well. Beautiful, well built guns by FN in South Carolina.
You got a super deal! Enjoy it.
