bigbearguy Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 My uncle has a Browning A-bolt in .257 Roberts, (wood stock, blued barrel) that he wants to sell. I was looking for another deer gun and I think this might just be the ticket. He won this gun on a raffle and it has never been fired, only taken out of the box and put into the gun cabinet and thats where is has been for a few years. He hasn't told me how much he wants for the gun yet, so what do you guys think it's worth? Also, would this be a good choice to hunt deer only in PA where most of my shots would be 150 yards or less?

AJ Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Re: .257 Roberts Is it an A-Bolt or a BBR? Either way, its a good choice in caliber for deer. It has light recoil, but enough punch to get the job done. You can read more about the .257 Roberts here. I don't have my Blue Book here at work, but I can give you some numbers this afternoon/evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Re: .257 Roberts The Blue Book lists an A-Bolt 1985 - 1993 as: 100% - $415 98% - $340 95% - $295 90% - $265 New in box (NIB) is 100%. The A-Bolt II 1994 - present is: 100% - $525 98% - $425 95% - $350 90% - $290 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robk Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Re: .257 Roberts i am shootign a 25-06 and i like the 257 caliber bullet and have enjoyed some very good groups out to 100 yards shooting a 85 grain bullet but am going to 100 grain psp from remington this season the ballistic tip i don't think is best for a deer but the soft point in my eye is a much better round and i will be shooting it this next week at the range to see what i need to do to get he gun dialed in. i have been getting dime groups at a 100 yards with ballisitc tips so i think i will still get tight groups at a 100 yards witht he 100 grainer's rob k loove a 257 round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
