Has anyone else noticed that Remington now has 2 offerings in 257 Weatherby?

No not really I'm aware of only one the very limited edition with the gray laminated stock SS metal and fluted barrel. What else? I have one of those supposedly on order but they say they may or may not be able to get me one.

OK I looked and found it in the CDL SF as well. I wasn't aware of that one but still the LSS Anniversary Limited Edition rifle is the one I really want.

Until yesterday I didn't even know they made one.  I guess I never thought I would see this caliber from Remington.  I agree that the LSS anniversary limited edition is a really nice looking rifle.  I love the 257 Weatherby round.  I have one built on a Winchester model 70 and I am having another built on a Savage action.

The Weatherby Mark 5 are supposely free-bored to handle high pressure Weatherby ammunition.  Is the Remington 700 in the 257 Weatherby free-bored?
