Problem with most of the 303's is the bore looks like a sewer pipe from non cleaning after corrosive primed ammo use..mb
Yup
ETA OP, the 303 is equivalent to the 30/30. For some reason, 99's in 30/30 seem to sell for less than any other caliber.
I would love an original condition takedown in 303 with a great bore but they are too much $$$$.
Lotta unknowns, no details, appears full redo, around 5 seems correct ball park for that 1899A
Couple of corrections, never seen or heard the "sewer pipe" issue with Savages, I think the poster is confusing a comment about .303 Brit.
The other, .303 is NOT equivalent to 30-30. They are not interchangeable, and loaded to original spec., the .303 Savage is a fair bit ballisticly superior.
