I seen a write up about them in a recent gun mag.  Seemed like nice rifles.  I think the 257 R was Elanor's (Jacks wife) favorite caliber.  I have handled a couple of the newest CRF model 70's, and they seem very well made.

The 257 Roberts Featherweight was a 2012 Shot Show special.  I picked one up and it's very nice.  It's built on a long action so you can seat the heavier bullets further out.  They are making the same rifle this year in 7x57mm.  The Jack O'Connor 70's were also 2012 models, but I am seeing quite a few around lately.  They come in two grades, the Tribute, and Custom Tribute.  The Custom has nicer wood, a metal butt plate (vs recoil pad on Tribute), and comes with soft case.   They are beautiful rifles.  The Custom runs about $600 more than the Tribute.
