new rifle

Went to the West Plains gun show here in Missouri today. Picked me up ..errr... I mean picked up my wife a new rifle today. Its a Ruger Hawkeye in .257 Roberts, topped with a Redfield 2x7 scope. Cant wait to shoot it. I was looking for either a .257 Roberts or a .250 Savage in a bolt gun. I found its a hard caliber to find nowadays. Seems everyone went to the .25-06, but I prefer calibers that were popular back a number of years. LIke I own .41 Magnums also, just my way I guess. Anyone else have a .257 Roberts and have good things to say about them?
