I'd like to havea nice .257 Roberts built and don't know which action I should use. Long or short, Remington, Winchester, Savage, Ruger...

I suppose the easy way would be to buy a LH Savage and have a new barrel screwed on.

What thoughts do you have on this?

I am going to use a Montana 1999 action. I have been told that the Montana short action is longer than most short actions. So it should work well with the roberts.

Cliff: I would recommend you take a look at Stiller Precision predator actions.

I have a LH MRC action listed in the classifieds. It has a magazine box length of 3.0" IIRC. Send me an email if you are interested, it is new in the box and CM

Take him up on it Cliff....then you can save money on shipping & just have Jim build what you need Big Grin

I'd love a Bob on an MRC

My MRC 1999 LH short action has a 3.1" magazine length and is perfect for the 7 Mauser sized cartridges.

Good thing Cliff's chasing that action or I'd have to.

Must resist the temptation.....
