I found another Ballard single shot I can't live without, so something has to go. (My philosophy these days is I don't need any more rifles, so my policy is if one comes in one has to leave.) Hate to let this one go, but two other .250's reside here "to keep my hand in". 1918-1919 vintage (not sure of exact date), M1899 .250-3000, 2nd variation, takedown of course. I bought it a couple years ago from the family that owned it since new. Closet queen all its previous life. Bore is excellent, function is flawless. $1450 with Lyman 30 1/2 tang sight, $1250 without. Shipped in a hard case on your dime. Only pic I have in Imgur. Detail pics to interested party. https://imgur.com/a/7lxRNBv#yhaItrb

Nice setup!
Priced well IMO.
Lesser type II 250's been ~$1500 recently on GB without the 30 1/2.
Good luck Gary!

A fair price on a nice rifle.

Same. If I wasn't currently awaiting the return of an EG getting rebarreled to 1-10 twist 250, I'd hop right on that train. That's an absolute beauty for the price.
