One of my pet peeves too! I hate that "Great shape for it's age" comment...like it's supposed to magically forgive all the sins on the gun. I saw the same GB listing for that gun and one of the pics of the barrel appeared that it had a bulge in it...that characteristic, shadowy donut inside the barrel that we all know is a bulge. Called and was told that no bulge was there in the barrel, but it also appears the original pics that I saw of the bulge have now seem have been replaced.
What I don't get with guns in this condition is the price that they ask? $599 ? The gun has no condition...how do you come up with that price?
They have a .22 HP listed, about the same condition and asking $899. I just don't get it.
my wife's sister's brother in laws father in law has a 99 savage and he said they go for big bucks in any shape!
unfortunately, there are those out there that will pay the high prices without knowing a thing about a 99.
like the colt craze/
i must admit that not that long ago i bought savage 99's without any discretion as to condition. then i fell into this crowd and got uppity.
now at least there can't be extra holes in what i buy.
