That being said I'd bet money that the post mil 250 F has a Chicopee barrel on it. They used up what they had and that was the end of post mil 250 F's.

Roy, that buttstock might not have been "wrong". Did you check the assembly codes?
What is the serial number on that rifle? I had a late .358 EG that I sold to David Royal, serial no. 967XXX. It had the folding rear sight that was used on the 1959 F's and an F buttstock. The frame, buttstock and butt plate assembly codes matched, but the forearm mark was just a C in a circle. We concluded that Savage was assembling rifles from parts on hand prior to the move to Westfield. Like, maybe they ran out of EG buttstocks and were using F buttstocks on EGs to use up EG barrels. Yes, of course. Forearm has the last four digits of the serial number on it, buttstock code is mismatched. Serial number #920,xxx.. LBC is 17, impossible to see the letter.

Roy, To make a story even better,that inspection mark on your 250 is the one John Callahan used when he worked at Savage !  Don Don are you looking at the square stamp?

The little square looking symbol right below the Savage 99 was Callahans Roy.

There are some 99CD's around in 250-3000. I think they were fairly common in the CD
wyo1895 With Savage never say never. For a copy of my book on engraved Savage lever actions rifles send a check for $80 to; David Royal, p.o. box 1271, Pinedale, Wy., 82941. I will sign and inscribe the book for you. [email protected]

But they did not come out until about 75. Several years after the last 250 F was built. They CDs had Westfield barrels.
I'm wondering if we have ever seen a 250 DL? Seems to me Roy might have one or built one or both. Can't remember the whole story.

The little square looking symbol right below the Savage 99 was Callahans Roy. I think that’s too early to be Callahan. Somebody else used that stamp before him, and after he left.

I'd put those 2 on your top 40 list....  Which one do you want? LOL I don't understand why this 24" EG kicks so much harder than the 16" carbine. Does barrel length make a big difference in recoil? I can't answer that question for sure but if you are loading with a slow burning powder you might be blowing unburned power out of the carbine barrel vs burning it in the 24". Seems that might affect the recoil....?

I’ve never shot a Savage 7 mag, but Sako 7 mags don’t recoil as much to me as 700’s do. I have two 99 F’s in 358, recoil isn’t bad, but I load a grain under max 180 Barnes for them. I’m sure it be worse with heavier bullets. The 180’s do fine on pigs. I have a 99 in 338 Fed coming soon, eager to see how it is on recoil.

Scope is only a 3x so precision beyond an inch at 100 is not possible. If you let me make the target and mount the scope on my 40X in 308 I might be able to challenge that assertion.

Since the buttstock was wrong I went ahead and fitted a more appropriate one. This must be where you talked about your 358EG and decided it was likely factory??
