Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Remington 700 .250 Savage

I am one happy camper. Picked up a Remington 700 Classic in .250 Savage Saturday at the gunshow. Missed out on one years ago and kind of forgot about it. Walking through the last row of the gunshow Saturday and saw an elderly gentleman carrying a rifle around. I stopped him and asked what caliber his Classic was and he said .250 Savage. Gun is in excellent condition and after some dickering we settled on $600 and he kept his scope and left the Redfield bases. Can't wait to take this out to the range.

TXDave;
Good evening to you sir, I hope this finds you doing well this still Sunday evening.

Many years ago now a long passed away shooting buddy purchased a then newly released Remington 700 in .250 and my goodness did that rifle shoot.

I still recall the day I was testing a now forgotten load for him and managed to put the first four bullets of five into one very tiny hole. Of course he made a comment, I looked at the spotting scope to verify how good it all looked and subsequently choked under pressure - though the group was still one of the best I've ever shot to date.

When it came up for sale I couldn't swing the needed cash and it's one that I always think of when folks talk about how accurate some 700's can be.

Good luck with your new rifle sir, I hope it shoots as good as my friend's did. All the best to you in the upcoming week.

Great to hear about you good fortune. Was out with my 1950's era grey rat mdl 99 this afternoon myself. Fun cartridge to load for. Best of luck.

That's one of the Classics I regret not getting (along with the .300 H&H and .222...

To all who are wishing for a .250 Classic, I know where one in 95-98% can be had. Pix available.

i've got one too. nice rifle. also interesting to compare the finish with the classic that came out in .300 savage sme years later. the .250 has a much deeper, glossier blue finish, and you can tell they took a little more time finishing the stock.

Good deal. Mild mannered cartridge for certain.

My 250

Now that is a sweet looking rifle!

I'm getting a 250 done in 7oo faux TI style with PN 8" twist MR contour. Have a factory walnut MR stock that will be cut short so the g-kids can shoot it too.

I have the .300 Savage Classic and would love to find a .250 to go with it. Luckily I have a couple other .250's to play with until I can find the right deal on a Classic.

Stevens 200 .250 Savage



Mini Mauser .250 Savage



The latter I have a hard time prying away from my daughter.

Nice setup, Scott.

It's great when someone mentions one of the older rounds and some awesome looking gun photos start appearing?

Nice find and a good deal. Buddy had one of those several years ago and it was a nice rifle. We bought a pair of the classics in a package deal from a guy one the .250 and the other the 257 Roberts. Buddy took the 250 and I ended up with the 257. IIRC it shot pretty well. I had a 77RSI in 250 as well and it was fine though not as good as my friends Remington.

Just recently I ran across a savage 110 in .250 and pimped another friend that was looking for a light recoiling rifle due to rotator cuff issues into buying it. It was a interesting older 110 with nice walnut and while he was skeptical ( He liked big bullets) , he bought it and now he thinks it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. The friend with the classic had some 87gr ammo he had loaded up left over and it shot nickel sized groups out of the savage. We all went on a deer hunt and a nice doe showed herself and despite being skeptical my friend shot her at about 150 yds. with his new rifle and she went down like a rug had been pulled out from under her. He is now a convert. Enjoy your new rifle.

what a find! I have a Roberts but would love a .250 savage as well! I saw one of those classics once, a guy had a little plastic plant tag 1" wide by 5 inches long with 3 close holes in it shot at 100.

Love my .250-3000 Classic 700, especially after the stock was given the Karnis treatment!!

I've got its semi-twin in hawkeye (matte stainless) trim, need to throw up a pic after work.

I've been wanting a 36 (cocking piece) Mex Mauser for quite a while, they aren't all that easy to find. Stopped by the local pawnstar day before yesterday, and there it was. A not all that bad sporter in 250 Savage. Looking forward to picking it up and a trip to the range for some test firing.

Why didn't you bring it home?

Because Kommiephuckingfornia has a 10 day waiting period. But, it's paid for!

Wonder if a 250 savage has ever been used in a crime???? Hell wonder how many would be crime types even know it exists Would be nice if people could get their heads out of their arses (i.e. government).....Craigster sorry for your inconvenience but would love to see some photos!
