So who got it?

Who missed it?

See a couple of guys here took a swing at it.

Uber rare. Only made in that configuration one year.

Not in the greatest condition but un messed with.

That has to be the only "99H 300 Savage" box left in the world.

I have the same gun in similar condition, but paid considerably more for it.

I love mine, it ain't going anywhere.

Well, ain't that something!

I'd say that went pretty cheap.

I recognize the winner's user name...

Yep

I'd say the buyer stole it.

Wow I saw a D&T one in worst shape about 6 years ago at a gun show, Called Loggah he said buy it, it was 900 bucks so went back to table and it was gone, and sure didnt have the box with it!

Haha, ya, recognise the winners name as well, he always said when he wants something he gets it.

Sigh (heavy sign) (HEAVY SIGH). No, I did not see this auction. This carbine has a lot of appeal to me. Granted it is not high condition but it is in incredibly honest condition and in decent condition (to me). And of course very rare. I never did connect with one of these in .300. The box is a nice touch, particularly on a variation that is the rarest of all the H's.

As far as wishing I had spotted the auction before it ended, it is important to remember that while it went cheap, that hardly means the next bid increment would take it. I don't think the winning bidder would have backed away easily Congratulations to the winner

That gun has seen some country and could tell some great stories.

Yet the original owner thought enough of it not to drill any holes in it and to save the original box he bought it brand new in 75 years ago. Who saves a box 75 years? This guy wasn't a collector of guns, he was a collector of memories. A man I wish I could have known. Holding that gun in your hands is like holding a piece of American history.

IMO, that gun is way more interesting and has WAY more character than if it were in unused condition.

Just me.

Mine is in almost identical condition less the box.

Somebody did a lot of hunting with it and most likely killed a lot of deer with it before it landed at my house.

I got the original model 250/3000 from this store on a gunbroker $1.00 auction. I bet it would be a cool store to go visit.

Ive had 2 of them in 300 cal ,kept the new condition one and sold the almost new condition one to LBK a few years ago. I wish i had a box !!!!!!

That guy must have been the original hoarder to keep that box.

Box shows shipped from Montgomery Wards, Denver, CO to Sulfur Springs, Wyoming. The selling dealer is in Montana.

The condition of the rifle looks about right for 75 years of service in that part of the country. It's one my dad would have liked...lots of character.

Seems right, the gun is beat to snot....600-700 maybe...the box 300

Yea, I have hammer produced about the same time. They look a lot a like for condition.

This question is sort of related to the thread, and pardon a novice, but is there a reason this model carbine was produced with a barrel band? The reason I ask is that the other models function quite well without them, with only the mortise and a single screw to hold the forestock on. Was the barrel band to make it look Winchester-esque?

Every thing Savage is Wichestresque. LOL

but better
