Once upon a time they were really high. That was quite a while ago, at least it’s been quite a while since I was at a gun show looking at an overpriced 99 and heard “That’s what Wildwood sells them for”.
And I even bought one from them a couple years ago, after years of swearing I never would.
They just had what I was looking for in my budget. I was actually looking for a 30-30, but they had a handful of 303s for lower prices. I ended up buying a different one than I had contacted them to purchase. Cosmetically it is in better shape than what I was going to buy, but it needed a rotor spring and sights, so I got it quite a bit cheaper. It's no collector piece by any means, but I was looking for a shooter/hunting rifle.
It was just under $400 including the shipping, Feb 2020. Shoots better than I do, so I'm happy. It's probably my favorite rifle now, just put 20 rounds through it yesterday.
