Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors WTS Savage Model 1895 75th anniversary..

Just wondering if anyone can help be find a buyer for this beautiful rifle. This rifle has never been fired. I'm selling this for my father 'cus he has know idea how to use a computer. He is asking for $1700.00 not to sure if thats cheap or not. Seen a few on Gunbrokers which had a starting bid of a thousand but look nothing like this one. Any suggestion pls respond. Thanks

Welcome to the fire. Your best bet would be to put it on Gunbroker. I can't speak for everyone, but that would be my advice.

1700?

I'm thinking these go for more like 800-1000. See you have the box and tags, that will make it a little easier pill for someone to swallow. However, I don't really follow them that closely because I think they are hideous.

Someone else will be along and pitch in with a more experienced answer.

I've passed on them for under $1,000 but that is just me. As this is a collectors site we tend to be hard on a commemorative of a model that technically never existed. It's basically a tarted up 99EG with 1899 style buttstock and an octagonal barrel in a caliber that the 1899 was never offered in with some gold plate.

The last one of these that I saw had a scope mounted on it
and it sat for awhile before it sold.

The ones i have seen sell complete with box ,unfired usually go for around $1000. You never know if you put it on gunbroker you may get more. Don

You guys are being suckered again!!

Welcome to the fire my azz!!!

Mike:

Could be yours' for a mere 1700

Them things are worth about 400.
Is this the same douchnozzle that has the 358 fs?

sold mine on GB 2 mnths ago for $555.00 - 99%,no box.

Do ya really think it's "HIM/HER" or whatever??? I thought the name was "out there" but it doesn't hurt to start polite!!!!

The last "used" one I bought was $400 and it came complete with a 3x9x40 VXII with leupold mounts. Peeled off the scope and mounts, put in plug screws and it was out the door within a week for $450. The scope and mounts reside on my 284!

$450 Canadian.....That's about $600 US nowdays ....ain't it?

The advice to put it on gunbroker is good advice. A no-reserve auction starting at a dollar would likely get a lot of attention. Not so much from members here of course

Nope, it's about $440 U.S.

Let me add, if the auction mentions a six month delay in shipment, that might stifle things a bit

Lately the Fire seems to draw a lot of new sellers with one post. GW

Jeez: Guess the US dollar is making a comeback.....of sorts

sry buddy but it's not. I can give you a hug if that will make the pain go away

Come on guys, lighten up, be nice to my homeboy. He and his dad are proud of their rifle, and the effort expended over the years to keep it nice. Before I could PM, he received an honest recommendation to bring the rifle here for evaluation while posting on a local forum that does not allow threadcrapping. While I must admit that he was guaranteed to get honest evaluations here, it was not exactly what he expected. He is not a flipper, or Larry Root in new guise. A lot of non-collecting folks like these rifles.
