I added another.................. #8775548 04/13/14 Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 12,625 Lyndeborough New Hampshire Longbeardking OP Campfire Outfitter OP Longbeardking Campfire Outfitter Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 12,625 Lyndeborough New Hampshire Thanks to Doug Foglio, I added another very nice 1899 250-3000. Still shows lots of the old high luster blue. Checkering is nice and sharp. No cracks. Nice tang sight and Lyman #6. Couple small blemishes on the perch belly butt, but all in all a very beautiful rifle. I had to choose between two that were available but when I saw this one the decision was made for me. This was the better of the two and much less money. I'm STILL smiling.

Fug even says one has a 24" later barrel. And we've seen some guns from the 20's with perchbellies, and we've seen some early guns that sold much later, and we've seen guns that went back for factory work. And we've seen guns with swapped parts. I'm guessing Fug ain't buying guns with swapped parts too often, so probably they shipped late or went back for factory work. “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”.

Right. Raised ramp front sights did not appear until 27/28. 7 or 8 years after the perch belly 250's went out of production. So what does that make a perch belly 250-3000 with a raised ramp ramp front sight on the barrel? Bogus without a letter. Last edited by 99guy; 04/15/14. "You cannot invade mainland America.

Although I am a big fan of that particular model. Still waiting for the right one to present itself at a reasonable price. The fact that I don't own one doesn't mean I am going to settle for one that ain't right. Patience in this game is a virtue. Guaranteed mine will have integral front sights...

Not sure there is such a thing as a "bad one" and I don't really care what sights they have. I just like-em all.

I think it's neat that Savage designed that particular rifle to introduce that caliber. I enjoy shooting mine and I'm always looking to add a second one in nicer condition. https://1895book.com/
