Catfish, So, what are you looking for, anything more specific? I have Pre-War 99R in .250 that is in very nice condition that I've thought about selling. Shoot sharp, Mike

He's looking and you're thinking. Not much to go on in either scenario!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LBK, True enough but I was more specific than he was. Maybe he'll get back to me. Shoot sharp, Mike

I'd be all over an offer of a pre-war R in 250 if I was the OP.

It's all about supply and demand. Good luck in your quest. I have only seen one in the last 5 years for under $600 and it looked like it was tapped with a hand drill.

Good luck Catfish hound, I've been looking for a .250 for 5 or 6 years and haven't got one yet. I've had some near misses though. On the plus side, I already have .250 dies and brass just waiting.

Know there's some guys over in the hunting rifles forum that have one. They seem to love them. I'd pick the model 14 myself, wood and blue all the way..
