Roundoak that is really,really high in my list of the all time best looking rifles!!! No joke about it. It really makes me want another 1970s 99A Saddle Carbine in a bad, bad way. I know I'm talking/writing like a teenage boy but THAT trips my trigger. I got one about 10 years ago that was truly a 98% rifle except a split at the tang that had been repaired so that you had to look for it. Mine was a.250/3000 also. It was so beautiful that I was scared to hunt with it for fear of putting a scratch on it. I did kill one whitetail with it and it was a bang flop DRT. I sold it because I knew they would likely never be made again and that one was in such good shape that it should be put up for posterity sake. Than is one fine rifle!!!
