I bought a 700 Synthetic 257 Roberts. Sure nothing fancy but 1/2 inch groups from the box with factory ammo 3/8 inch with my first hand loads. Same holds true for my 700 Synthetic Rem in 22-250. I have a couple Savage rifles that shoot as well or better. Fit and finish? I don,t know. When they shoot that well I sure the hell don,t care and niether do the Game animals I hunt. I had a few custom rifles that shot that well and looked a little better for five times the price. Not worth it to me. Give me one that put the bullet where I put the cross hair and I am a happy man.
