Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Wildwood

I really l-o-v-e this site. It's one of my favorites 'cause there's so few opinions and most here just won't speak their minds :)) Keep up the good work!!

Nah, if this group had any affect on prices then we'd have seen entire tables full of $150 99's from when Lauren used to post on here frequently.

Some people have the luxury of being able to pay more for a rifle than they can sell it for just because they want it.

I don't.

Agreed

How could it possibly? We can't even agree.

I don't have any agenda. Nothing to gain or lose by reporting what I see guns trading for. I've got some I paid to much for and some that were good investments. It is what it is.

Once you get to the stage in this addiction where you know what you're looking at, you know you want it, you know how hard it will be to find another, you better buy it no matter how many widgets or how much overtime you have to work to pay for it.

Otherwise, you lay in bed at night thinking, "Man, I wish I had". I'm looking at one right now for $900+ that I know I should buy but tax season screws up my buying. Happens every year.

Oh well, at least I know several people on the dole can continue to buy their cigarettes and booze because of my sacrifice.

He is still a regular poster,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,just not Lauren anymore.

Well, who da heck is he now?

I don't believe it...

First 22HP that was posted and he'd be unable to restrain himself.

WEll If I'd Wager a GUESS it BE 99308F

He must be one tough sumbitch to shoot one of those. even Joe won't go there.

Not that difficult to shoot one of those.....

If you have ever shot a TC Contender with a 16.5" tapered lightweight 45-70 barrel, you would think the 308F is a 22-250. It is even worse out of a handgun setup. Just don't ask me how I know that.

Yeah but Joe said...

OK......

Don't bring me into this thread, I'm just sitting back and enjoying the show.

And biting my tongue really hard.

Copper pot....copper pot. Sit down and have one or two and enjoy.

I'm just funnin ya ol buddy. Good job on the tongue biting. You do know you're fun to fun right?

Okay... who is this, and what did you do with the real mad_dog?

Oh ya, I know.

This isn't the first time we've talked about Wildwood and have always laughed at their prices for years now, it's just interesting that all of a sudden there's a disagreement among the forum on them now.

No need for me to get into this because I'm from Canada and couldn't buy a gun from them even if I wanted to.

Loving this whole conversation. Sitting back, sipping Scotch and LMAO. Kinda like when I go the the monthly WAC gunshow. Every time I go these days I see guns that have been for sale for 20 years or more. Most of them are on dealer's tables. Never could understand why a dealer would want to have a show only table.

I do find it interesting that so many gun stores find a rat 99 and put it up for sale for $1000+ like it is something amazing. Here in Buffalo NY the Buffalo Gun Store on Harlem Ave does this. They always have 2 or 3 there and their pricing on the old 99's is laughable and nowhere near real-world pricing. Cabela's opened a new store here recently. I go there often just to look for new arrivals. They have a 99 that somebody sawed the top of the cheek-piece off, and added wood so that it is very high and functions for a scope better. Now why the guy who did the work did a nice job, the gun is ruined. It looks very odd and the modification is so obvious. None the less, Cabela's has this gun for sale for $1,200. Then right next to it there was a nice little 99 in .303 that was almost perfect, made in 1919. I purchased it for $750. Not sure what they are thinking when they value these old 99's but glad they are not on top of their game sometimes.
