I would appreciate a price check on a 99E in .308 serial #116xxxx, approx. 1951 model with checkered forearm and butt stock. Thank you for any help with this.
A post one million serial number would place the date of manufacture sometime after 1959. If it is the 60s/70s models without the cartridge counter and with pressed checkering it should be worth $400ish in good shape I would think. One of the true 99 experts should chime in soon though.
POST MIL SERIAL NUMBER WOULD NOT BE 1951 MANUFACTURER....HAVING SAID THAT A POST MIL 99 WOULD BE WORTH IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 425-450 DEPENDING ON WETHER IT IS ALL ORIGINAL AND WHAT KIND OF CONDITION.
Thank you all for the information. Here is the listing for the savage:
Selling my Dad's Savage model 99E 308 lever action with Weaver K4 60-B scope. Not sure of the age, but I know my dad had it in the late 50's, model number 1160572. Stock in fair/good condition, some scrapes and scratches, but nothing deep or cracked. Bluing is very good, only a few scratches on barrel tip and lever, but no rust. Scope has some scratchs and rust on edges. Fires very well, known for accuracy. Last of the internal rotatary magazines, holds 5 rounds.
Weaver scope is marked Weaver, El Paso Tx.
Is there an asking price in there?
Its not mine, but he is asking 350.00, I think it is a fair price but I know very little about 99's.
That is za fair price and a pretty good deal if you want one.
I would take it if it is $350 and as decent as you claimed
PM sent
Oh well
Serial number makes it a late 1967 or early 1968 rifle. Look on the front of the lever for an oval stamp with 1 or 2 numbers followed by a letter. The letter U would be 1967, the letter V would be 1968.
This rifle is showing as "Sold" over on the Texas Armslist as of yesterday.
Its not mine, but he is asking 350.00, I think it is a fair price but I know very little about 99's.
Assuming good condition, the scope and mounts are worth 50.00 so rifle cost is 300.00. As fair as it gets around my location.
