Your favourite?

I consider the 6.5 YKW to be a better choice than the 257R these days. Try buying a new 257R rifle or ammo to start with, plus I need a long action to get a 3" OAL.

These issues are nicely addressed with the 6.5 YKW. I have a 6.0 YKW here and like it a lot.

Its the "easy button" alright but 257 Roberts just seems like a labour of love. Don't do it if you want to...you will if you have to :)

Must admit, a 700 in a "Classic" stock in 257R appeals, a lot. Just one of those thing.

6.0 YKW looks really useful too. If you did it again would you stick with it or try an ARC?

Indeed lol...From a guy who is always complaining about 6.5s no less.
