Thanks for all the great info. That' s exactly whyI like this board so much- sincere and helpful information without all the sarcasm of some boards.

So, one more off the wall question. Has any company ever made a lever action in .257 Roberts? I have a soft spot for the little Roberts. Could the Browning BLR be rechambered to .257?

What sort of scope would you mount on a lever action rifle?

Thanks again for all the help. Keep it coming.
