I kind of doubt it I do not think anyone has made one in years unless some one made a limited run on them as  a classic????? I just looked up in my Hornady book Remington in the 1980's made a limited Production run so maybe one of those could be found I know Savage made them in their lever gun the 99 and I would guess some older bolt guns were chambered for that round also? If he wants one bad enough I suppose he could get a rifle rebarreled for that caliber if a used one is not available. . Unfortunately all the other 25's have longer cases so rechambering would not be a doable thing but I would think a new 25 cal barrel that is not finished being reamed out could be done. Or maybe some one still makes a 250/3000 barrel yet? Jim

The semi-custom manufacturers like Kimber might make one, certainly no mainstream company is offering a 250Savage at this point, which is a real shame. Best option is to find a .243 or 22/250 with a shot out barrel in whatever make you like and do a rebarrel. I almost did exactly that but then decided to go 358Win instead.

Not any company that I know of BUT go to go http://www.auctionarms.com/search/displayitem.cfm?itemnum=6501806 and view the Remington M722 in .300 Savage that they have on auction.  Simple matter to rebarrel to .250 Savage.  This is how I got mine.  Lawdog

I just had an Interarms Mark X Mauser which started out as a 243 rebarreled to 250 Savage.  Rifle has double set trigger and spoon handle on the bolt. Got the barrel, deep chambered, from E.R. Shaw barrels.  Made a nice rifle.  Haven't been to the range yet.

Charles,

Make sure you come back and give a report after going to the range.  Sounds like a great rifle to me.  Lawdog
