[QUOTE="fireroad, post: 434847, member: 17359"] The rifle itself is a real nice gun and I would not hesitate to buy it. Fit and finish is very good. Wood grain can vary but is usually okay to quite nice, the later being the rarer but I have seen them. Proven M700 action and a fluted bbl to lighten the setup a bit. I have one in 260 and love it. Consider changing factory trigger for a Timney or Rifle basixs. 257 Roy is a neat caliber and one I've always wanted to own because it's a real speed demon and great for antelope and deer. The problem is the brass is ridiculously priced, and factory ammo is even worse. The round uses alot of powder and can wear bbls and throats much faster then other 1/4 bores. If I was buying another CDL SF strictly for antelope and the occasional dear I would skip the 257 roy and go for the 264 WM. Still a powder hog, but much better component prices and selection. If less power is needed there are still alot of the CDL SF limited edition 257 roberts on gunbroker for the same price or less then the 257 roy. [/QUOTE]
