In this thread affordable is desirable, I just think that (outside the occasional fluke) there are certain models of the 99 you don't find people paying a premium for. Say like a prewar 99G vs a 60s vintage 99E. They both work just as well for hunting but you damn well know that the E will never command the same asking price. The Edsel was a car that was as good as any other car but it didn't sell. I guess I'm looking for specific rifles and characteristics qualify as the Ford Edsels of the 99 world.
