In today's gun market in Canada I don't see anything pictured that I would pay even $300. Tough market! Your call. Last edited by olgrouser; 11/17/14.

In the US folks would pay $450 or $500 for that because it was a 250-3000, but nobody on this board would. Don't know the Canadian market, I'll bow to olgrouser's expertise. “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”. All models and variations of 1895’s, 1899’s and 99’s covered. Also dates, checkering, engraving..

Would this be a $400 CDN gun if no alterations had been made ? That gun could easily bring 700 in the states in unaltered factory condition.

For a hunter/shooter to be dragged outside on a snowy day, yeah, if it had but one set of holes- I could live with it if priced cheap enough. Two sets of scope holes, I would forget it at any price.
