[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2472337, member: 2939"] I bought a custom from E.R. Shaw with thick rubber recoil pad in 257 robberts AI. 26 inch fluted. One of my more accurate rifles. I came to the conclusion that 243 kinda tops out with antelope although I have taken some mule deer with it. My daughter was 120 pounds and 5'8" at 16 and she didn't like my lighter 270 win. So the 257 AI almost has the 25-06 velocity and 100 grain spbt have proved to be DRT on mule deer. I use 7mm Mauser cases with full load to use and fire form at the same time. My daughter now 36 and 5'10" and 135 pounds still loves her 257. Just a fun lightweight long barreled rife. 87 gr for varminting [/QUOTE]
