I have a Fox Ridge 26in blued tapered barrel in .257 Roberts........I love it I have had it shoot .50 groups at 100yrds-Today it shot 1in groups at 100yrds,But I think it was my fault.
I use the .257 Roberts primarily for deer but also bear being the first week of deer is bear season also.
I shoot the Federal premium noslers in 120gr, My barrel loves them!!
Get one--you will love it!!!!!!!!!!

I have the fox ridge in 257 ackley inproved. I use it to hunt deer mostly and it does a great job.
