Hello camaro, welcome to the forum. The new Camaro is a nice looking ride.

Not familiar with the 250 lineage. However, you will probably read from those that have that knowledge.

Camaro4spd welcome to the forum! The 250 Hammerless Lever Action came in a Deluxe model, which featured a fancy walnut Monte Carlo stock, made 1965 to 1971. A Standard model had a plain stock and forearm on early models, with later production having checkering, as stated produced from 1963 to 1974. According to Winchester, the total for all models in the 200 series were over 1,600,000. Serial numbers were non-sequential. Hope this helps.
