Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Mossberg Model 250CA is a bolt-action rimfire rifle produced by O.F. Mossberg & Sons during the post–World War II period, a time when American manufacturers were focused on affordable, accurate sporting arms for recreational shooters and small-game hunters. Introduced in the late 1940s, the 250CA was part of Mossberg’s broader .22 rimfire lineup that emphasized simplicity, reliability, and value. Chambered in .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle, the model featured a detachable box magazine, a manually operated bolt, and Mossberg’s signature receiver grooved for tip-off scope mounts, reflecting the growing popularity of rimfire optics in the era. Production of the 250CA is generally placed from approximately 1948 through the early 1950s.

In terms of design and use, the Mossberg 250CA was intended as a practical all-around rimfire rifle suitable for plinking, marksmanship training, and small-game hunting. It typically featured open sights with an adjustable rear, a blued steel barrel and action, and a straightforward hardwood stock that balanced durability with light weight. While not a high-end target rifle, the 250CA earned a reputation for respectable accuracy and dependable operation, consistent with Mossberg’s reputation for producing cost-effective firearms that performed well beyond their price point. Today, the Model 250CA is appreciated by collectors of vintage American rimfires as a representative example of Mossberg’s postwar production and the golden age of mid-century .22 sporting rifles.
