This .257 Roberts standard rifle was produced in 1949. It retains all factory finishes and is in original configuration. It grades in NRA very good, condition. Just 2% of pre-64 model 70 rifles were chambered .257 Roberts, making this chambering scarce and highly collectible.
The stock is a nicely grained low-comb which retains its factory finish. It has a few very minor handling marks and a couple areas of minor finish loss. There are no cracks, oil stains or other problems in the stock, and the checkering is sharp with no issues. The factory steel buttplate is intact with minimal wear. The original bluing is very nice grading at 95% with no noteworthy edge wear and just a few slight blemishes. The notable blemishes are wear on the bolt handle and marks from a past scope base installation on the receiver. The bore of the 24" barrel is bright with strong rifling and no pits, erosion or abnormal wear. The action is tight with no issues or visible wear. The bolt is correct and serial number matched to the receiver.
