Another 250-3000 fan here. My first introduction to the cartridge was my X's dads custom comercial mauser, Buhmiller barrel, set trigger and realy nice wood. Watched the man work magic in the MN woods with that rifle, and I got to spend alot of time with it working up loads for hime for predator hunting.

Found a rough old 1920 but since my cataract surgery I can't shoot open sights very well so it's sitting in the safe waiting for a decision.

Just sold my 99 TD , getting too heavy.

Built a Stevens 200 250-3000, 20" barrel, SSS trigger, Elite 4200 1.25x4x24mm just perfect for calling preds out here on the penninsula. 75gr X-bullets for the small stuff and 117gr RN for the bigger stuff.

I have a lot of faith in the ballistics of the 250 and when i was looking to build a little rifle for whitetails I built a 25-204 Ruger(257 Kimber clone) with 100gr bullets at 2800fps I wasn't disapointed it works just as well as the oldtimer.
