Remington Guys need to see this!

Here is one you don't see everyday and I thought the Remington guys may appreciate it. Made July, 1954 and brand spanking new in the original box.

.257 Roberts is an awesome round!

Oh yeah, that little round can do a lot and do it well

Nice. Got an old Gamemaster in 308

That’s a beauty

What a beauty!

Wow!

Very nice!

A darn fine all around hunting caliber !

How’d you find that gem ?

That box adds alot of value to that beautiful gun

Niiice

A classic

Yes and so does being new, unfired.

Wow. Nice acquisition

Maybe so but it’s a dying shame letting it remain a virgin like a beautiful woman dying one

Back when remingtons were good guns-Nice.

Incredible find!

I don't have the will power to leave it unfired or un hunted with. Dandy for sure. Should be in a collection.

I really have a weakness though for used rifles with some bluing gone where rust needed steel wooled off, copper in the rifling, few dents and scratches in the wood. When I see that I know it was somebody's go to rifle.

Beauty Rob. I guided a guy must be 50 years ago who was using one. I remember it because I’d never heard of the cartridge at that time. I haven’t seen or thought of that make of rifle since.
Fun to see so pristine.

you said hey you want to see a rare Remington and when they said yes you said hold my beer,,, BAM!

What a find!
Any guesses on the retail price in 1954 was?

Awright, aqright, awright!!!!!! I will trade you a full 3 dozen vintage Duke 1.5's,..kinda rusty with weak springs and full of old crud for that gun...you pay shipping.

Great find!

Moosetrot

current value over 2K a used not NIB sold for 1975.00

used in good shap in more common calibers are getting around 7-800 right now

in 1954 about 150-180 dollars

pumps never really got as big as they should have because you could get a lever for about half the price some old adds had a Rem about 160 while a M94 was 80 in the same add.

I never even knew that gun was manufactured in that caliber!

X2

wow. that gun is beautiful

Another Safe Queen

WHAT? You sound like you have spent your whole live in Aitkin County or something!

Sure looks like the one my brother lost in his house fire last year.
Nice deer slayer

That is sad if it was NIB.

it was one of the lesser common calibers

30-06 was around 70% of all of them made with 270 next the only other caliber to be made from 51-81 followed by 308 and 243 being the other most common made from 55-81

257 roberts was only made from 1954 to 1961 in the 760

222 and 244rem being the least common only manufactured a few years

I bet you wished it was a 6.5 creedmore

Dang that’s incredible! I’m a Remington guy for sure named my oldest son Remington! I’ve got a 722 Roberts about the same year definitely not in that condition but still a beauty.

Nope, I am not a member of the 6.5 transgender crowd like you.

Come on over to the dark side, little buddy!!!!

Wow good find, I'd be shooting that for sure.
But glad there is people out there that save them for the next guy

That is sweeeet!!!

Great find!!

Drooollllliiiiinnnnggggg!!!

It is possible that it is the only one of it's kind left.

You know I would love to have that one! What a beauty!

Very nice Yes the .257 caliber is a great round .But it is sad to see what has happen to Remington

no it was used , Had 3 shells left from the box it came with, and 16 deer shot. Needed one to sight in....
But if you sell yours it would be good to get a base price for the insurance claim he has not finalized yet.

Too bad.

I love everything about it!!

They are only new once. ....So yah gonnah shoot it ...and lose 3/4 of the value ..?

I bought one like that used 25 years ago. Not quite as pretty as yours but still in very nice condition. It was a tack driver with Nosler portions. I traded it off as it was to valuable due to the caliber for to keep as I would have dropped it's value greatly from dings and such.
Great find. Super rifle.

Nessmuck, if I came into possession of that rifle it would get shot. I would baby it but it was made to shoot. Value isnt the main thing with me. I wouldn't sell it. One of my kids or grandkids would inherit it when I die.

That's really cool. Where did you come across it.?

That would go nicely with my other 760's in .222 and .243 calibers and since I have two other rifles of different makes in .257, I have plenty of ammo for it. C'mon, Rob, make me a deal.

It doesn't belong to me, it belongs to a family friend and he is willing to sell it and has a standing offer of $2500.

That's a crazy great score-nice rifle!

Dandy

Fantastic My cousin has one which is the first and onl;y other one i've seen in 257 nephew has one in 35 rem.which i covet just sorry how much i told him i coveted it

Smart friend. As is it would not leave my gun room for that amount.

Sold Yet ?

I am thinking it may need to come to my house. I will never find another one and it is kind of growing on me. Hopefully it gains value better than my stock market stuff right now.

I have the same gun in 30-06 that my dad bought in 1954 from Sears. He shot his first buck that year when the Wisconsin kill was about 25,000. I have used that gun since 1989, cant tell you how many times I have been on on stand opening day thinking about Dad and a buck showed up. It has killed a bunch

Funny, about ten years ago there were 257 Roberts, 308 and 243 for sale all over gunbroker, way more common to see on there than 270 or 30-06. Growing up the only calibers I knew they were made in was 270 and 06, my dad has a 270 he bought used when he was 12 years old, I used that gun a lot growing up and shot a lot of stuff with it. Bought one just like it off a friend probably at least ten years ago now. I own a lot of rifles but I grew up using one of those pumps and when it comes time to throw up to your shoulder and shoot at something, particularly something running in the timber, that is the gun I want in my hand.

I always wanted one of the carbine models, knew a couple guys who had them, but they are rare to find that anybody is willing to sell.
