Looked pretty nice thought about it but don't need any more

You could break the journey have a big mac then back on the road again maybe cast a fly that afternoon, check the rifle and be back home Sunday lol

Johno

Come on up and I'll take you fishing and a jet boat ride!

Local Glacial lake I access with my Inflatable Jet boat

If I ever make it to Alaska, I'll look you up. Sincerely, no joke....

Took some pics looks very nice for a redo

Come on Randy, I’ll go with you. My dream come true. 100 MPH in six inches of water, giant rocks all around,Salmon jumping, sitting on a ballon with a jet engine strapped to the back. I’m all in.

If I wanted a pretty hunting rifle I’d jump on that. You have Savage style at Walmart prices.

With the Lyman on it, that’s an attractive price for a shooter. Spent all my fun money, tho.

I messaged them on Facebook and they say it is NOT a C&R gun.

I was unaware Savage was making EGs in 1972 !!!!

So I messaged and called them again.

They won't even p/u the phone unless you are a dealer or LEO !

Strange way to run a business !

No way to contact KK ALASKA either.

Perhaps the Campfire has slid into an alternate Universe !

It definitely IS a C&R gun, but lots of FFL's are declining to work with C&R's.

Nope he said the serial number was outside the C&R date range.

Oops, just msged me asking for C&R.

There may be hope !

Think the Ser # 500K I have no affiliation with the rifle just the messenger!

Cleaned up my PM box

I have made every effort to buy the gun short of getting John Kerry to fly me up there.

Owner of shop does not seem too responsive ---- sad as I would be a buyer.

Success rewards persistence. It's mine.

Nice bookend for my NIB 300 EG.

Arrived today. I have a Stith mount and Alaskan waiting.

Unpack and photograph tomorrow.

Unpacked her, she survived a rather casual packing job intact.

Nice reblue, wood looks good, wish the lever had not been blued but ----

Perfect bore.

Now to find some 250-3000 cases or ammo.

Pretty much all that matters.

Lot of places will case color that lever for you.

1st priority is cases/ammo.

Looked at 27 ammo places on the net and finally found a box of 100 gr Remington cartridges.

Brass cases that should be gold plated for what they cost.

Makes Weatherby ammo look reasonable !

Weatherby ammo is anything but reasonable.

Agree, but this was more than my 6.5-300 cost !

And your point is? Handloading is the answer for this cartridge for years now. It's not something you can throw your money at and solve.

You already know that 22-250 are used as replacement brass. But 6.5 cread. are my favorite for resizing to 250 Sav.

The case is a little heavier and less neck folds in my experience.

I just sold a bunch of 250 Savage Ammo at the Pa Rendezvous very reasonable because I knew the guys I was selling them to. I still have 15 rounds of Rem 100 gr. cor-lokts. If somebody wants them PM me.

Two of my local big box stores had 250 and 300 Savage ammo in stock early this summer, 100 grain 250's and 150 and 180 300's in stock. Was in stores just browsing, didn't buy any as I reload for both calibers. Too pricey anyway for 20 round boxes, can't say if still in stock. Never have bought factory ammo for either caliber. 75/87 grain loads for the 250, 150 for 300 Savage. Started casting for the 300 some time back, bought a NOE mold (87 grain) for .257 bullets not long ago, going to cast for 250 Savage also. Neither caliber is really popular in my state as any deer hunting is not allowed with bottle neck rifle calibers. A few select straight wall cartridges. I just target shoot with my 99's and Rem 81's, although I have taken my scoped 99G 250 out coyote hunting some, have good accuracy out to 100 yds with Hornady 75 grain VMax's or 87 grain SP's. Also shoot a Ruger M77 250 Savage that is a tack driver at good yardage, a real coyote dropper.

I have 2 locals that have cases of 100gr 250. $40 a box though.

40 a box is a good deal.

Haven’t seen any 250 ammo here for a long time.

Was in Tulsa this spring, found .35 Rem ammo at $55/box. I walked away.

$40 a box of Remington 100's is what it's been hanging at around here for years. My local shop did a transfer for me back in March and he had 3 boxes at $37. That was the cheapest I'd seen it since the big Midway sale.

I've got some Remington Cor Loks and Winchester silver tips. Shoot me a PM and we'll discuss.

Steve

Talked to my bud the shop owner wish someone else would have bought the rifle buyer was a pain to deal with. Note to myself use the PM feature in the future to let others know of a good buy! UpThe Pole is on ignore!

Some learn, and some others NEVER learn.

Dealing with Larry Root was a PITA?

What a surprise!

Yup,.... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Who woulda thunk it.

Larry Root or Marcus Brody?

Steve, thanks for the square deal on the 250 ammo.

Great dealing with you and hope for repeat business.
