Good evening everyone,
Recently picked up a decent shape CR Pederson custom rifle with a mauser action from a friend, been having trouble finding much info on it. But from my understanding CR Pederson was a custom shop, and is actually now closed so not much can be found on it. Would like to run across someone who knows something about CR Pedersen and their work.
after scrounging the interwebs, I also found different things about the cartridge this rifle is chambered in. Supposedly standard .257 Roberts works in this rifle but the *imp* stands for improved, which leaves me to assume someone was a hand loader, and had this rifle made for the .257 Roberts/Ackley IMPROVED cartridge. Kind of like .223 Wylde in relation to standard .223/5.56?
Not much of a handloader so all the info from above is Chinese to me. If anyone has any input or knows anything that can help figure this rifle and it’s cartridge out would be much appreciated!
