It's a Ruger M77 Hawkeye chambered in a .257 Roberts with a Nikon Buckmasters 3-9x40 scope. Got it in remembrance of my dad. He talked about this caliber for as long as I can remember.

Congrats! Enjoy!

The .257 Roberts use to be a much more popular hunting cartridge. From what I have informed, the .243 Winchester changed that. IMO, the .257 Roberts and more so the .257 AI are a better .257 round than the 25-06. They use less powder and performance is not much below that of the .25-06 - especially the .257 AI. Some claim they are also more accurate. It is hard to argue the efficiency and accuracy of a cartridge based on the .308 Win case.

Should be a great deer hunting rifle and sentimental value is a bonus. Have fun with it.

Says "Invalid Attachment Supplied"...or something of that nature so no pic was available? :(



Sounds like a very nice Rifle and a great Caliber....its nice to do something in Memory of Your Dad,I hope it brings back great memories and good times Hunting!

The Bob is based on the 7x57 cartridge.
