The Remington 700 Classic in .257 Roberts was one of the earlier annual Classic series offerings, chambered in a cartridge that was approaching obsolescence in commercial production. The .257 Roberts was introduced in 1934, and the Classic series reintroduction generated renewed factory ammunition production from Remington and other manufacturers. The straight-comb walnut stock and satin blued finish of the Classic series gave the .257 Roberts a final production run in the finest 700 configuration. Type: Rifle Action: Bolt-Action Caliber: .257 Roberts Capacity: 4 Year introduced: 1982, USA Weight: 44 oz Overall length: 42.5" Status: Discontinued Intended use: Hunting, Collecting
