It can be narrowed down if you can post pictures of the rifles OR provide detailed descriptions including bbl length, PG stock or not, checkering or not, style of fore end (schnable or rounded, caliber, and buttplate type.

Now a days you see 250 Sav but there was a time when the 250-3000 Savage was more common to see.

The 1935 model does not have a Lyman aperture sight and the 1949 does or does not have a Redfield receiver sight? Looking at Blue book of Gun values... Both appear to have after thought drill and tapping...dang. Page 1594 Last edited by lumberjack23; 01/22/12.
