I vote for the pre war 250 for the cool/pleaure to shoot factor. With Savage now chambering in 250 will not be a problem to get ammo. Throw in 20 boxes and it will last her forever. For sure a unique gift and not off the shelf. Will also gain in value in the coming years. Your gun would mean the most to her and you would have a enjoyable time seeking another 250R. GW

If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared. MACHIAVELLI
