Anyone a fan of the .257 Roberts? I really lucked out in my search for one and found a Ruger 77 on one of the auction sites. I didn't even know it until I received it as it wasn't included in the description, but the action had been glass bedded, the barrel free floated, and trigger work had been done so that the trigger is nice and crisp (a big improvement over the original factory Ruger triggers). I was assuming I would have to have all of this work done on it (or do some of it myself) and man was I surprised to find out it was already accurized. And, all of this for $500. It shoots my 87 grain handloads into sub-MOA groups all day long. I really like this old caliber; it should be more popular. I know, basically the 6mm's killed it, but it will do anything they will do and more. In fact, compare the 120 grain Roberts to the 130 grain .270 and they are pretty close. The 6mm's can't compare.
