The Model 250 pairs a blued steel barrel and magazine tube with a black-finished aluminum-alloy receiver. The receiver is factory-grooved for 3/8 inch rimfire tip-off rings and is marked "MODEL 250" with red color fill. The barrel is marked "WINCHESTER 22 S L OR L.R. MADE IN U.S.A."
This hammerless lever-action design feeds from a tubular under-barrel magazine with a stated 15+1 capacity and uses top ejection. It is chambered for .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle, offering broad ammunition compatibility within the .22 rimfire family.
The rifle is outfitted with a hardwood stock and a pressed-checkered hardwood forend. It includes a pistol-grip stock and a metal buttplate marked "Winchester." Length of pull measures 13.5 inches, and overall it presents as a full-size rimfire lever gun.
Sighting equipment includes a ramped front sight, and the receiver’s 3/8 inch grooves currently wear an RF 3-7x20 rimfire scope secured by tip-off rings. This setup provides variable magnification while remaining true to the rifle’s rimfire mounting interface.
Produced approximately from 1963 to 1973 in the United States, the Model 250 reflects the era’s blend of alloy receiver construction with steel barrel components. The 20.5 inch barrel length and clean external markings contribute to its classic Winchester presentation.
