Rem 722 257 Roberts.
Ser # 3878xx
Left back side of bbl has symbols and "30"
Right back side of bbl has "FEP" and symbols

I'm a novice at getting information on guns, although I have hunted for over 50 years.

Many thanks.
You need to figure out what those "symbols" (letters) are and use the following link to see what date it was manufactured.

It will be in the latter part of the 1950s.

Your Ser # 3878xx would be right in the middle of this list.
Does it have a "P C" or an "O C" on the left?
Look at the post "721 722 725 dates of mfg"
