What has happened to the 99s is that people have discovered what a high quality rifle the 99 is.I have been in the gun business in one form or another for 45 years.The 99s have always been undervalued in my opinion.Younger hunters have just now begun to discover them.I recently tried to buy a 99F 308 on gunbroker.It was mint and built in 1958.I did not get it because it went for $1650.I believe they will continue to go up as the supply of good condition guns dries up.At the end of last deer season I put a photo of a deer and my 99EG on a local deer hunting site.I had over 30 responses,most asking where I got the cool rifle.Quality will always hold value.
