Very nice - one of my all-time favorite cartridges.

Were it a 1-7" Speedmire throated for 88/90's and wearing better bases/rings,with the G3 Lit version(LRTSI '12x),she'd be a PEACH. Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1600x1200q70/923/9SxvnE.jpg) Just sayin'................

I wish Weatherby would have put the .250 Savage they made on the Varmint Master action into production. I remember reading an article in one of the gun rags about it but it never came to fruition

The only thing worse than a Weatherby 6-lugger,is a Weatherby 9-lugger and the Howie Tandem Lugger trumps both. Hint.

I think the Howa is still one of the most underrated actions out there

Its an easy caliber to love. I have thought more than once of converting a shot out Ruger M77 .22-250 to the .250-3000!
My Dad has killed a pile of deer and coyotes with his aged Savage 99 RS. His has a 2-7x scope on top and is quite handy. I personally have shot some jack rabbits and coyotes with it, but never anything bigger.
His favorite load (largely in deference to the 1-14” twist) is the Sierra 87 grain Varminter on top of H380 going right at 3k fps!

Don't sell that scope short. Those are outstanding scopes. 3-12's are much sought after so don't give that thing away if you dont like it. But give it a fair shake they are tough to beat. Great little rifle by the way.
I've always been different with one foot over the line.....
