Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Savage 99 303 Savage Value

Butt is a replacement, fore end refinished over the gouge in it.

Best advice given so far? "If it was worth the price, it would already been gone"

You might be looking at a different gun, there is no gouge or finish in a gouge on the forearm.

RAM is a expurt

No sir, I am familiar with both 303's, and the 99's with bad
bores I have seen were most often 303.

Nobody else said the 303 was "interchangeable" with the 30/30, that'sall you. Ballistically, they are equivalent, with the 303 being marginally superior. Mule Deer compared the case capacity of both and found them to be within a tenth of a grain.

Not identical, not the same, not interchangeable; just equivalent.

No deer would know the difference.

I have a 99 takedown In original finish (not new condition) with a bright shiny bore. I’ve killed deer and caribou with it, spruce grouse too, with the.410 barrel.

You can reload.303 with.30-30 data. I don’t see where there’s a whole lot of difference ballistically, other than.303 was originally loaded with 190 grain bullet (at proportionally less speed than .30-30 170 grain.)

In any event, it’s one of my favorites.

I got a 99f in 308 I need to pull out and shoot

So is plumbum.

Plumdum yes him to

Hard to tell without looking at the rifle in person 500-600 if refinished, 1600 to 1800 if Original

Is it a 30 caliber or .303?

How's it marked? 30 Sav would be a 30-30 chambering. 303 Savage is just that. Either should have a .308 bore if that's what you're asking.

303 savage. It appears like it is still considered 30 caliber, as the 303 British is 312.

303 Savage=.308” bore.
Arthur Weren’t no damn Brit!

303 British used corradite stick schit 303 savage did not

.308 on the left, .303 center, 30-30 right.

I use 30-30 load data and projectiles. The brass and dies are enough different as to not be interchangeable.

Savage Arms did not care to promote another manufacturers proprietary cartridge, early Savage 99’s had a SAV 30 barrel stamp instead of the 30 W.C.F. barrel stamp that Winchester used. Both cartridges are one and the same.

I’d love to find a 99 in 250-3000

These are da chidt!!!!!!!!!
