Went to an auction in Bedford VA today and my pop acquired a couple more Ruger #1B's .
He first bought a 1986 vintage 280 REM and then followed with a 1981 vintage 257 Roberts .
The Roberts has a really really nice piece of wood in the butstock.
The 257 is up top and the 280 under .
The butstock of the 257 Roberts .
Lets see I have dies , brass and bullets for the 280 , but I suppose I will have to get dies and brass for the Roberts .

That is a beautiful hunk of walnut there and it got put in a very nice place.
That should be one nice shooting rifle in 257 even that 280 man them are good cal.'s
Nice score Ken.
Ken.
Be nice if it was better, but it could be worse
I forgot to mention before . The 280 is a little unique in that the barrel is marked "280 REM or 7mm Express REM". I realize that is no big deal to a shooter but for the collector / shooter that is a little something of intrest . As I think they only stamped this for a couple years in the mid 80's when Remington couldn't decide what to call the 280 !
