I’m at a gun show and saw this Savage 99 in 303 Savage. I was wondering if anyone had a quick idea of its value. It is in extremely good shape, serial numbered in 200XXX range. Lever is vivid case color, blueing is 95% and wood is 95%. Front sight has blade with a bead formed into it.. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/gkzwhjtC/IMG-3844.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/8cD7tzpr/IMG-3845.jpg)

Looks totally refinished and reblued to me.
Without having hands on it, I'd call it a shooter grade rifle. $700-$800

Nice piece for sure . Not sure of the value of a refinished rifle , but a WAG would be around $7-800.00.If you buy it , Wisconsin Cartridge makes loaded ammo for it.
Its all right to be white!!

Problem with most of the 303's is the bore looks like a sewer pipe from non cleaning after corrosive primed ammo use..mb

For some reason, 99's in 30/30 seem to sell for less than any other caliber. I would love an original condition takedown in 303 with a great bore but they are too much $$$$.

I never did see any 303 ammo that wasn't made by Dominion.

Since it’s at a gun show and the 99 is still sitting there, it’s not worth the price whatever he is asking.
Original high condition 99s never sit long. I have been collecting them for 25 years. There are exceptions, but tampered guns are not nearly as desirable.

That’s the 1920’s factory Savage ‘mirror blue’ finish on the receiver
The swivel studs are not original to the gun
Does the tag read $1,800?

Lotta unknowns, no details, appears full redo, around 5 seems correct ball park for that 1899A Couple of corrections, never seen or heard the "sewer pipe" issue with Savages, I think the poster is confusing a comment about .303 Brit. The other, .303 is NOT equivalent to 30-30. They are not interchangeable, and loaded to original spec., the .303 Savage is a fair bit ballisticly superior.
