Well that's a fine specimen of a model 250-3000, (..except for that epoxy patch behind the tang, oof). I think those Redfield sights came along later (40's maybe), but with a Merit adjustable aperture it will be a terrific sight, whether hunting or target shooting. Your rear barrel sight looks to be non-original, but it's hard to tell. They normally had a long base with a blade elevator. You could take off your rust spots with some gun oil and bronze wool, they doen't even show in your pictures. I love those old 99s that show plenty of use, reblue is a last resort, and will diminish the value for us leave-it-the-way-it-was-curmudgeon-types
