As previously stated, this would be one of the earlier 1899 Deluxe 250-3000s with the perch-belly buttstock and the cross-checked trigger, which brings somewhat of a premium on a collector rifle. Looks to be in real nice shape, but I feel the guys are spot on as to value due to the drilling of the receiver for the scope mount. Would make a hec of a classic hunting rig!!!
