Folks,
All I hear about the 75th Anniversary Savage 99 is a bunch of complaints. Would anyone care t explain why this is so? Enquiring minds want to know.

Not speaking for everyone but calling it an 1895 and producing it in a winchester caliber wasn't cool (at least the CE was a 300 sav). It is a post mil in amongst a time when quality wasn't savages strong point. Nothing really special about it, just gaudy with a gold lever and gold but plate with cheesy roll stamping on the receiver. The winchesters are not doing any better. In Canada you can pick up just about any NIB winchester for $400 - $600 depending on caliber.

they dolled up a pig, to try and sell them just like commemorative win.'s. Like, "See how good we used to be?"

"Now we make crap, and you fools still buy them" Wow, I agree with you on that. The 1895's are nothing but a money grab. They were knock offs as far as I can see. Not even close to the original 1895's, wrong caliber, wrong barrel length, wrong pads. They didn't get anything even close to an actual 1895.

but they will be worth a lot of money in the near future when someone wants a complete collection of 99s. remember no collection is complete without them.

I also have one. I bought it right and just keep it. Do I LIKE it? Not particularly. I agree it just has no real connection with an 1895. It's the only post-mil I own at the moment. And I also know I'm not the sharpest tool in the box. ![[Linked Image]](http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p313/longbeardking/1895201970-1.jpg)

I agree with Hubert , a Savage 1899-99 collection is not complete without one. I don't have one but if one comes along for the right price I would not hesitate to buy it.

A gunshop in my area has/had one of these for sale awhile
back and it had a scope mounted on it. I think they were
asking 1000.

I could have bought a used one for $500. The only way i would ever own one was if it was new in the box, and it would stay that way.

I'd say you saved yourself about $475. You can buy a 36" pry bar at most hardware stores for about $25.
