Of course anything with condition is climbing as more seek and fewer find. Here's one I wish I had bought 100 of. https://www.gunsinternational.com/g...a-7mm-08-very-clean.cfm?gun_id=101415671 _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

I'm hurting my brains cells trying to remember, but I think it went for between $1200 and $1600. I'm not greedy, I just want one of each. Remember Ira Hayes JoeMartin

Or maybe even better, I wish I had bought a pile of 7mm-08 99 barrels back in the 90s when Gun Parts/Numerich Arms had them for about a hundred bucks - give or take.

Believe prices were around $3,300 - $3,400. Last edited by eaglemountainman; 04/04/20. My heart's in the mountains, my heart is not here. My heart's in the mountains, chasing the deer.

I asked him where in the world he's gotten so many nearly mint 99's to sell, several at a time listed for the last several years straight. His reply- You wouldn't believe what walks through the door. Yeah, you're right, I wouldn't believe it! He's gotta be liquidating a huge collection. _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

I wonder approximately how many of each were made.

I wish I would have bought 100 WW ll M1 Garands, M1 Carbines and 1911's 25 years ago. And some P38 Lugers, MP-38/40s and Sturmgewehr 44's Didn't think I could afford that stuff 25 years ago. I'd be retired now. Sigh.... "You cannot invade mainland America.
