December $487 prefit group buy, several barrels are a go

[hereinaz]

I have a 257 Roberts Improved on an old Remington 722 action that is a reamed original 257 Roberts rifle. I'd love to have one in a fast twist barrel instead of a 10 twist but I already got the 25 Creedmoor buy started and it is less fuss to shoot heavy bullets due to factory ammo with heavies available to buy.

IMO, the 25 creed is better than the 257 Roberts flavors for lots of reasons, but the heart wants what it wants, lol.

Anyone besides @Mberline and @onlybrowning want a 257 Robert’s of some flavor?

I might be. Heart was set on 260 Rem for a rebarrel but a .257 is close. The 25 Creed is tempting too.

 

[Mberline]

The 350 pieces of new brass say I should try for the Roberts before giving in to the temptation of the 25 creedmoor.

I can do one offs, and give you a discount off Preferred’s price if you want. But the control round feed need gunsmithing.

It is a push feed post 64 - PM me a quote on the price.

This one goes out to those of us that are (hopefully) also playing with Sig Fury brass resized to something nearby that makes more sense… even without fury brass, any of these with a LA bolt stop or CTR/AI bottom metal pushing heavy ELDM’s just makes sense, pick one and join me!

Tikka 750 taperless - 5/8 x 24.
SPECS:
Cartridge: 7-08 or 7-08AI or 260AI
Throat SAAMI
Length 18” +/- 1
Twist - 8”
Lapped - Sure
Fluting - If that’s what it takes to get 4 more on board

I suggested this in 260 a couple pages back so I guess we are up to 2!!

Please count me in if you do a .257 Roberts AI barrel. Needs to be 20" for me, and I would prefer fluted but not a requirement. Fast twist/long throat for the 128 ELDx/133EH/134 ELDM would be ideal.

I don't see the 22 GT option on the pre-order page. I want to order my 25 Creedmoor and 22 GT at the same time. See if you can get it added tomorrow. Thanks!

@hereinaz does this pre-order sale end today? Wasn't sure if whats listed on your site was gonna be it, or if some other barrels/specs were still being added. Thanks!

This pre-order will be open at least till Dec 12.

If we get enough support, we will add more barrels, and maybe keep that one open.

So will a standard bolt face tikka, factory bottom metal/plastic with m+ mag feed 2.900 coal? Any other modifications needed

You would need a magnum bolt face for 6um

You need a magnum magazine M+ is for standard cartridges
The L mags work as do the wsm but not at 2.90 you can run 2.850 in the wsm mag

One thing that may get overlooked with the super 6s of whatever flavor you prefer
Yes they will make a match bullet upset why the f out there, well beyond where most of us are shooting animals
They also beat the wind better than their smaller counterparts
So while they may both be super sufficient at upset at say 700 yards one is easier to get those hits in broken terrain
Bc is great, BC + speed is more greater

"upset"?? Not sure I'm following.

Distance bullet works

Expansion is a bit of a misnomer

@hereinaz

Question regarding timeline. I notice expected ship is end of March, is that what’s expected? I understand we are at the mercy of PBB timeline on this.

I may be relocating, I left a note on my order, but I’m just curious to so I keep it in mind moving forward.

And thanks again for passing along some savings.
