I can buy one in good to very good condition for $250, it is a very
thin and handy rifle, is that a good price?

They generally sell for somewhere between $200 and $800 dependent upon
condition. Good little rifles, used to see a lot of them come through
the shop in the sixties. I would jump on it at that price if it is
indeed in very good condition.

You might want to check if your LGS carries the ammo - its not as
common as it used to be. You can mail order it from Midway for about
$28 to $30 a box.

Or reload it for a whole lot less. You can get .35 Hornady
Leverrevolution bullets now, not really needed in the case of the
Remington 14/141 due to the magazine construction, but will give an
added boost to the old caliber. Standard .358" pistol bullets can be
used for reduced loads, too. Makes it into more than just a weekend-a-
year deer rifle. You could probably get into reloading for not much
more than the cost of a couple of boxes of ammo if Lee equipment is
used.

As far as the price, I'd be all over it if it had a decent bore. Wish
I could get a model 25 for that price!

Remember all the old nice Remington's in .25 Rem., .30 Rem., .35 Rem.
etc? Wish I had kept all those old rifles that passed through my hands.

And you're exactly right, even nearly fifty years ago I used to reload
for them, much cheaper and could get better ballistics than most of the
factory loads. Good deer rifles for East Texas whitetail.
