Could never get past the extra holes, fixed or not.

I would have bid on it, but no way I'd be in that prices range for that gun.

Almost $1400 with fees, more including shipping/FFL. Wonder if it was bought by a hunter, or by a dealer for resale?

well, at least one got every sighting option .

Is it what I think it is ? The 250 TD w/checkered trigger ? Those holes could vanish as if they were never there.

No, it’s a 1924 99G in 250. The checkered trigger ended on the model 1899 250-3000 in 1917.
I just picked up a nice 99G in 250-3000 a month or so ago. Apparently I paid far under the going prices.

Once somebody drills holes in it you can never fix them. It can never be original again.
However, If I owned that gun and it had a different scope on it, I could live with it because 1) I didn't put the holes there and 2) I would hunt it.
I'd like to have a 250-3000 G if I ever run across one that suits me.

Trust me, you send to to Doug and the holes will vanish.
Not cheap but all gone.

I appreciate talent. But like the guy I saw at Carlisle, with a plastic coated magnet, testing the quarters on a hemi car. I asked him what he was doing. He said enough mud will make any hole disappear, but just because you can't see it, it doesn't mean it's not there.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.
