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.


America is (supposed to be) a Republic, NOT a democracy. Learn the difference, help end the lie. Fear a government that fears your guns.
