I had a 52 carbine in 243 years ago, fine little rifle.

Have my dads old Remington model 722 in 257. Killed
My first deer with it about 40 years ago

I think it has always been over looked. When I was real young, seemed that everyone had a .243, .270, .308, or a .30-06. People just didn’t seem to have any love for it. As I got older, everyone was looking to burn powder with 7mm mag or .300 Weatherby mag. Maybe now that I am definitely no longer in my prime, it seems that manufactures have gotten a little smarter about the cartridges that are being brought to market in the terms of BC and efficiency. Only problem is that they really and truly aren’t bringing anything that doesn’t closely perform like something that is already out there. That is if we are truly being honest! Don’t get me wrong, I love the new stuff! I think options are great and I love new stuff to get excited about. But what is the staying power of these cartridges??? I have a .338 Federal that I love! Great cartridge performance but it is probably on its last breath with I believe only savage being one of the last big companies to produce rifles in that caliber.

So the Bob has made it this long. There is something to be said for that at least!

I’ve got 1000 $1 bills for the pair.

Got a Kimber Hunter in 257 I’ve not zeroed in yet. Looking to put it to use next season.

I've got that much for the bottom rifle.

You can have the blond.

I do not believe they are for sale.. but I’m sure they can be bought. Don’t know exactly what it would take but I’m sure no one would want to pay it.

Well played HB, that’s hilarious. 😂

Don’t mess this deal up for me.

Nice guns
My best friend had one and it was awesome - I wanted one bad and it kind of fell off my radar - this May rekindle it 😀

I've got a case of Nattys I'll throw in with my $1000 to sweeten the deal.

Damn you!

Better than a .243

That's not saying much but at least there is something.

My dad did not start hunting until I was a teenager in the early 80’s. His first rifle was a Ruger M77 257 Roberts long action. Killed a buck on his first hunt. I own it now. She has killed many deer. All my kids have killed with it and many friends also. He still reloads my ammo. That rifle will never leave our family.

Fine round and sweet rifle.

BCLC, when you get bored with Bob, I've got place for it beside another MRC!

You have BCLC confused with AC. BCLC don’t cull schit!

Have nothing against the quarter-bores, but have always had stuff just below (6mm) and just above (6.5mm). Wouldn't mind having a Bob but with components and ammo the way they are currently I don't think it's a good time to experiment with new calibers.

I think Dan may have more of MY rifles than I do...Might as well give him the combination to the fun room.
