So following some of the things mentioned in this thread I noticed last night that one of the online auctions has a 99E in .300 languishing at 300-bucks with a BIN of only 375. It is an E, has hardwood pressed checkered stocks and looks really clean. A good starter 99? My apologies for posting a live auction but at least I didn't identify the web sight.
