I have a Ruger m77 in .257R that I picked up at a pawn shop for $450, that included the Leupold VXII it was wearing. It is my most accurate rifle, and will shoot 117grn Hornady btsp interlocks or 115grn Ballistic tips into ridiculously small groups with RL19.

No but if you set the barrel back & run a 280 reamer in it it will fix both problems, long throat & loose neck.
My opinion is a finer more versitile cartridge than a 280 is hard to find smile
