I built one for myself about 45 years ago. Whittled the stock outta a Claro Walnut blank I got from a guy in California. Told my wife that if i sold it for $1,000.00 I'd get about a dime an hour for my time. The 257 is a great round. I don't see why it's not more popular.
These are all great old guns. That's what I like. But, the sad truth is that gun buyers nowadays don't care about the same things. If it aint "Tactical" they want nothing to do with it. I collect Remington rifles from the 50s and neither one of my sons are interested in them. The model 12 in the...
Danger Close Guns in Winder has ammo in stock for the 303 British. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the 303 has taken more African game than any other caliber.
Most any gunsmith that builds custom rifles should have a couple of stocks on hand. The 700 is a great action to start a custom build on so they usually have them.

Munden installed coil springs. And if you didn't believe he was fast all you had to do was wait a minute and he would tell you. He came to our match (Mule Camp) a couple of times and did a show. His wife was pretty good too.
I'm a die hard Remingon man. I love all my Remington rifles and i have a few. They were all made in the 40s, 50s & 60s tho. It's really sad to see what they've become.
