Actually Jack, I know a local woman who hunts with a savage 99 in .257roberts. Seen it, held it, didn't get to shoot it though. I'm pretty sure too short guns, or more to the point magazines have always stymied the Roberts.
That and some woefully light factory loads due to a few poorly converted
6.5mm Arisakas & 88 Mausers.
