Late production 250-3000 with G style checkering and a, well, I'm not quite sure, some type of hybrid.

yep...top being the Hybrid
bottom the G like rifle.

Is Murray's maybe off on the serial number end of the 250-3000's and start of the G's? Just wondering... The 30-30 looks like a nice shooter, but I'd invest the $25 in lettering it to positively identify what it started out as. Have you looked on the buttplate, end of the buttstock and forearm to see if the serial numbers match the receiver? Each piece should have a serial number stamped on it.

He wasn't off, it's just that the 250-3000 1899 and the 99G overlapped, another transition rifle. It's still a 250-3000 either way. It most likely has the vertical lined trigger instead of the crosscheckered trigger.

I wouldn't waste $25 on a letter for the 30-30, it's a shooter however you look at it, doesn't much matter what it started life out as.

Thanks for clarifying the 250-3000/99G transition.. don't think I'd heard that before.

I still like to letter my rifles. For $25 I get the original config, real date (I think I have yet to have a mfr date match Murray's dates) and who/when/where it was originally sent to. We probably need more letters on "normal" rifles to help tune Murray's dates better. But it's up to Dave..

Gotta remember to send for info on my '35 EG after Christmas...

We do need letters on normal rifles, especially the rifles made during WWII, the early 40's and mid 40's are a complete mystery.

I've been considering lettering my '39 99T, but that's during the "blackout" years where there's so little data. With luck will get a shipment date on it though.

Well i looked under the butt plate{hard rubber with the savage sa logo}on the 30-30 from 1925 and it has no numbers there,also under the forearm there are no numbers.forearm is all wood,no metal stampings at all.It seems as if its mixed breed fore sure.But she'll knock over them deers like crazy.

Calhoun, ya, I'm gonna get my RS lettered (398XXX) along with 2 of the last 1895's I got, should be interesting.

Joe, ya gotta share the 1895 letters with us! That's some serious history..

Most likely just be Baker and Hamilton 1895's but you've always got hope.
