I hope you got a picture? I know sometimes they frown on that at gunshows though.

I never see any savage 99 guns around Houston except about 5 or 6 re-blued mix-matched guns priced about triple what there are worth - which never sale...
I envy you guy who run into all these quality 99 - i never do...

I went to those shows from 2000 to 2010 when I retired. Used to be some good deals before the rest of the world discovered 99s!

There are always quite a few at the CGCA show in Denver in May. This year there were more than usual. Fug said he'd never seen that many at a gun show before.

I saw 9 at the Vegas show this weekend. All overpriced by a factor of 1.5-2. Nothing worth getting excited over.

They're usually pretty pricey at Denver too. I've gotten a few there at the going price though.

Not everybody is spending their govt checks on guns. Some are still working for them.
