A buddy of mine in Georgia built this rifle for me in 257 Roberts. It started out as a Serbian commercial Mauser in 8mm. Barrel is now a 22” ER Shaw 257 Roberts 1/10 twist. Bolt/lugs are polished, as are the feed ramps. Other parts include a Timney adjustable trigger, Leupold mounts/rings, and Bushnell 4500 Elite 2.5-10x50 scope. Factory stock was finished in hand rubbed linseed oil.I finally got it to the range a few days ago and was impressed. After bore sighting, the first three rounds were touching at 100 yards. Load was Winchester brass, PPU 100 grain soft point, 36 grains Varget, and CCI 250 primer loaded to 2.77”. I’d appreciate any of your favorite 257 loads, as this is my first rifle in this caliber.
