Looking at a Speigle edition 99 in 303. Can someone fill me in on rifle. I would put condition at around 50 - 70 %.

303s are hard to find, but at 50%-70% the value is going to be fairly low.

Not sure how to grade it. Checkering is good hard to tell about blue. Going to ask about 3 day inspection. 500 is price.

A Spiegel would be a 99EG with the roll stamping and odd d&t on top of receiver and barrel. Would be curious if it has checkered forearm as well as buttplate and what the serial number is. Majority are in 300, would love to find a 303 and 250.

Seller sent me copy of evaluation of rifle.

Copy as follows:

of wear, extra screwholes and cracked stock at the tang, added sling/ swivels pretty much renders it into the shooters classification. Condition is everything. If the bore is bright/shiny and has pronounced lands /groves your $600. asking is ok, can always come down. I would love to have one to go with my collection, but normally go for higher quality. If the gun was 90% would sell for around $1000.to $1200.

Not sure now as I don't need a shooter. Could buy for 400.

Did Speigle have sling swivels installed? The swivels look to be of the correct period. If I do buy it for 400 and is not collectable I may have it rust blued and restocked.

So the only concerns I have would be the amount of wear on the bluing. There is a small rust spot on the under side of the barrel. I think 400 would be a buy.

$500 is a buy, $400 is a crime.

Why not just cut the crap and offer him $100 and a bottle of Jim Beam, after you drink half the bottle with him?

Do you think a bottle and cigar would be to much?

If this is a Vermont gun, send it this way. I'm not very far from you and my .303 Speigle could use a roommate. laugh laugh If it were mine, the price would be out of this world............

I traded for a Speigle last weekend at the Denver show. It's a 303 with forearm and buttstock checkered, matching numbers and sling swivels. Serial #3947xx. I'll get it out and photograph it this afternoon along with the two 1899's I got there. David
