Looking at non custom, what are your favorite .257? And why.

Are you asking for a favorite model of rifle, or about what is a favorite chambering that uses a 257 caliber bullet (257 Roberts, 25-06, 257 Wby, etc)?

Mine is a 257 Weatherby in a Mark V Deluxe.

Favorite rifle, in a .257 Weatherby mag.

I have 2
I really like the first lite
But my favorite has to be the Roy in the vanguard wilderness

I like my Rem 700 CDL SF. Just don’t shoot it much.

I just got a Wilderness 257. Really liking it so far, hopefully it shoots good. I haven’t made it to the range yet.

A .257 Roberts I built about 2 years back for a customer that ended up not picking the rifle up.

I’m glad he didn’t. [emoji106]

I believe it is .26 my favorite .257 is probably 25/06 but 25/35 is pretty cool

Weatherby Accumark.

Be aware that this caliber is a barrel eater. I had a Weatherby RC and shot it out within 800 rounds. I like to shoot guns, and shot out a 7mm-08 too. I took it to a local gunshop and traded it off for a SS Ruger Bisley in 41 magnum, and ordered another Weatherby Accumark. Here are some pics of the throat and bore of the first 257 I owned. Great caliber and a favorite of mine. Now I hear there is a 257 Creedmoor coming out.

Been a fan of 25 cal for years ..Wife's 250Savage 250/3000...Ruger 77 lightweight from early 80..Has been a keeper from day 1.. small. lite ,pencil thin barrel,low recoil,beauty..
only problem is ammo scarce,more less out of production...Hard to find..If you Reload and have Brass, no problem

Had a couple 257 Roberts (ammo around but ya gota look)and a 257 AI (roll your own) all great...I never been a fan of Belted powder burners

25-06 a great one too

I started hunting with a Ruger 77 in .257R (dad still has the gun), have had a Ruger 77 MKII re-barreled to .257AI (sold to a TBH'r), a Remington 700 .25-06 (sold to a TBH'r), currently have a Rem 700 short action BDL with Shilen .257AI barrel, and dad has a Weatherby .257. Of all those guns, honestly the .25-06 was the least fussy and the one I should have kept (have handloaded for all of them). These days I lean more toward stuff in 6.5 and 7mm, I anticipate the BDL will eventually wear a barrel in 7mm-08 or .260.
