That would be .250-3000, now called .250 Savage. First chamberd in the Savage model 99. 0 -
Yes Left out the 0 in 250 Thanks Sir!!!! 0 -
It's also called a 250 Savage. A nice round it fits somewhere between the 25-35W or 25 Rem and the 250 Roberts. 0 -

I have never heard of that cartridge being chambered in any lever action except the Savage 99.
Did Marlin?0 -
I believe it was the 1st cartrridge to achieve the 3000 fps. speed. I also believe it has a pointed tip and cant be used in tubular magazines. 0 -
woodshed87,
With the very limited information you supply, all anyone can do is speculate & wonder.
To my knowledge, Marlin never has chambered one of their lever guns for the 250 Savage (aka 250-3000). The only 25 caliber chamberings I know of are 25-36 (an obsolete cartridge) in the Model 1893 & the 25-20 (aka 25 WCF) in the Model 1894.
Recheck the markings for both model & caliber on the gun & repost them as they appear, then we will be able to help further.
As for value, pictures in focus & detailed will be required.

To the best of my knowledge, no, I believe Cussedemgun is correct, but I sure don't know every thing and have not checked Brophy. Perhaps the lever was a Savage misremembered as a Marlin?0 -
