Have prices gone down on the 99"s Seems the 303's online arent going real high What say you guys ?
1)"C" style brl. are the least common of the three rifle brls.
2) All "T's" are good. The .300 is the most common.
3) .303 has been the least favored for a long time. For collectors it is the most common chambering and for shooters, there was a shortage of ammo for several years.
4) A lot of the 99's I see on line have problems.

This subforum persuaded me of the 99's virtues and I now own two.
Other than members of this subforum are there many out there who want a 99?
