That is my point and the reason for the analogy. One could say that it's the atrocious styling of the 99E that keeps it down in price. Other than that it is just as "drivable" as any other 99, including the highly vaunted engraved models from the rifle's early years. This is an exercise to identify such 99s so as to allow a new guy something to look for to get into the game with a reasonable price. Or something for any of us to look for who have to get by on a working man's wages.
