Borden,
I have a gun just like that. It is super accurate. The recommendations for a good scope is spot on. I have a vintage Leupold Westerner 8x with dot reticle on mine. It is a great scope for its day. Though if we're my only gun, I would put a better scope on it. I just like the older gear and accept the handicap. However, I always have a set of Swarovski or Leica binoculars with me so it works out.
If I am packing in on a hunt, then everything is top notch.
You got a good one there. The 250 is a great deer round. A well known gun writer here said, "Saying the 250 Savage is not a good deer round is like saying fire isn't hot"
