| I have a Savage 99 250 3000 take down model made in 1913. I was wondering where I could get more info on this rifle. Any tips or info you care to share? |

Quoted:
I know of a takedown 22 Highpower for sale. The dealer has hd it for years. I may make him an offer at the next gun show. There was a consignment rifle for sale here a few years back. Made around 1918 or so, and the gun looked like new. The owner had second thoughts and took it home; I had gone back to get the gun. I've always wanted a 250-3000 in a bolt gun. I like the Savage 99's, but not enough that I can warm up to buying one. Maybe if I used one for a few days I would change my mind. |

I thought about getting a .308 99 for a brush gun for deer and then found a pre-64 '94 at a yard sale for the right price

Years ago Winchester made a limited run of the Model 70 carbines in this caliber, one of their "Classics". I managed to get one and loved the rifle but shot like crap. I had to have the throat of the chamber lengthened and the receiver trued up and bedded/floated. After that it shot like a dream and killed deer like a bolt of lightning. Killed the biggest whitetail I ever shot with it. I let a buddy of mine talk me out of it for his kid. The kid's now a man full grown and and has killed over a dozen deer with it, one a 350yd plus shot, so it's not just a short range cartridge. He wouldn't trade that gun for anything, I know I've tried. I'd love to have a Savage 99 carbine with a 20" barrel in this caliber. Rob |

Just FYI, the name .250-3000 was given to the cartridge because it was the first cartridge to break the 3000fps mark. With an 85/87gr bullet. Rob |

I thought the same thing, found one in a pawn shop with the tag marked "284 win", took a look at it, stocks had been refinished but it was in decent shape, and it wasn't a 284, it was a 308win, asked the counter dude what the cash price was, walked out with the rifle for $125. it shoots great  .
