I was going to build a .257 Roberts until the chance at a Vanguard VGX with nice wood. So I bought it and had it turned into a .257Wby. I really like it's velocity and the ability to go up to 120grn Partitions.

I think it should make a great deer and 'lope rifle.

Thanks everyone with the advice, I actually may lean toward a 25-06 AI after all, I'll post what I end up with. Thanks again
