I have two .257 Robt., a Ruger #1B and a Winchester M70 Featherweight. (FWT) I also have the FWT 7x57. They're very nice rifles and accurate too. My biggest gripe about the M70 FWT in those cartridges is they put a block in the magazine which make a shorter follower and long bolt stop part of the packaged. Replace those three parts with 30-06 length parts and you can seat longer for closer to the throat loading. One of these years I'll probably do just that to my two but they work OK as is.
The Ruger being a single shot rifle does not have that problem and is a tack driver. I like the .257 Bob.
