Every year, I bend the ears of the reps at Brownchester, Ruger and Savage to come out with a downsized youth/lady/small people rifle in 250 Savage. To date, only Ruger and Savage have shown any interest whatever, and that only verbal -- probably to get rid of me. They all repeat that "no interest and no ammo" line but it's a chicken/egg deal: if there were rifles, both ammo and interest would blossom.
I still firmly believe that a Browning MicroHunter 250 would be an ideal rifle, as would any similar rifle from another maker. The few rifles that have been chambered in it sold out immediately, and very few of them show up in used racks. That's the best evidence that strong interest does exist.
