Another 250 from forum member Downwind. I call it "Gramp's" gun. Long story goes with it. D&T'd and sling swivels. Norman Ford Texam 2 1/2x PCH (again scope is from 300Jimmy) .308 EG. Again "almost" factory fresh. From forum member 260ss. Replaced Marble's rear sight. It looks like it's been there since close to day one. And on the bottom, another EG in .308 that came from DGF. Aftermarket recoil pad and custom wooden pistol grip cap, VERY nicely done These are top to bottom. Speigle Special in .303. In excellent + condition. Another one from DGF. Under that is a .300 that I got from France (indirectly). I have most of the documentation that goes with it. It came from an Air Force base there. Next one is in the 705,000 range that came from a public auction. I don't know how I got it for the price I paid but I walked away a happy bidder. It is factory D&T'd and has a case colored rotor. I took this picture from both sides to show the wood. I have never seen better on and EG. How's about we see more of of yours. Roe Clark told me himself that more of this model is found only because it was so popular with the hunting public. He said it was his favorite because it was so sleek. His own words.

A member here sent me pics of one he has, down sizing his collection. Hope I can get it before he has to put it on GB, Joe. I'm not greedy, I just want one of each. Remember Ira Hayes JoeMartin

Second is my 1948 250-300 with a 3x Weaver fine cross hair with dot in center.Both are in very fine condition. The 1953 is one of my choices for this years hunt. (along with my T) Currently only have two, but that is always subject to change. Last edited by oldotter; 09/20/15. "Its easier to fool people......Than convince them that they have been fooled."

I'm happy with my factory drilled .300. I was very happy with my Stith mounted .300 EG until some a-hole (sorry for my poor French but I detest thieves) stole it. Last edited by S99VG; 09/20/15.

I thought it was the most beautiful gun I'd ever seen. It also worked. Over the next 5 or 6 years I killed three whitetails dead in their tracks with it. The EG is still one of my favorites.
