Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Savage top notch ammo

Im starting to think that the village idiot has pulled one over on the village

Is a fly on the wall at a small show more likly to hear "get the F#$% out" OR "I know this group of guys we could F#$% with "

Could it be Wiseguy99?

Am I getting warm Stever??

Guys, it was somebody yanking your chain.

It's a big tent (I hope) Bruce

From the start of this thread, I had the impression that Wise99 had a lot more experience with Savage rifles and ammo than was presented

I have Been Known to get Aggreavated Ever Now And Then.
Les and I Had Some Good Heated Battles. But You Are Nothing Like this Azz! A 1895 is Not a 308 Anverisary Model.
And When I Got Savage Brand Ammo And boxes are at 95% Condition ,,,and He's Tellin Me Ya Can Buy that all day Long at 55.00 !!! Good Luck!

Sorry Steve, I really was thinking that you where pulling our leg and this whole post was a set up.

Sam, If you like savages, pull up a chair and read for a while, lots of people with lots of info here. Its like a big happy one room school house. Great teachers and fights out on the playground. And some of us just hang out making farting noises and shooting spit balls.

Is it just 'coincidence' that 1899Sav has (miss)spelled 'calibor' for caliber in previous posts and Wise99 started this thread with the same misspelling?

I vote: Stever=Sam

So it's a true story?If so,then the guy said you had 20 or so savages for sale?????What gives?Are you out there sellings guns to strangers because your buddys on the forum would get mad if you posted them here?MAN OH MAN $#^#&^$%!!!!
Take pics and then PM them to me please.Or follow after me"GRASSHOPPER" and make a new post.Ha!Ha!Ha!

Good day.
so this is not a 1895 savage


and this type of ammunition is worth 120.00 to 150.00 a box.


Sam

Are you kiddin?

Sir,Kidding about?
That is a 1895 is it not?
And is that type of Savage ammo that hi?
Sam

That is Commemorative, made in 1970(an 1895 in Name only), it is still just a 99, the real 1895 only came in 303 Savage, had a cocking indicator on the bolt, marked thru it. That POS is worth about 600 bones, a real 1895 if it were in that condition would be worth at a minimum of 20,000, and yes, that ammo in those boxes is worth big money. Please, do yourself a favor educate.

Well sir,
That is why i joined,,that guy at the show gave me a mouth full, and told me to join a site where they talk about guns,
as i said i have visted this site and another where you have to pay to join. I am sorry if i'am asking stupid questions.
Sam

There are no stupid questions, thats how you learn. You want to see some pics of 99's go over to my site at Savage Lever Actions of North America and go to the pictures section. Les

Go to www.savagela.org and hit the pictures section. You'll see real 1895's, there were only about 5000'ish made. You'll also see all the other models.

Then head out to some of the internet auction sites and check out the price of old, original ammo. Yup, it costs.

Then hang around and enjoy the knowledge you'll pick up here.

I'm sure you realize that there are two 1895's by now?Right?
The original and the commemorative.The later has a bad rep for quality.Most here don't care for them for that reason.It's like Madonna trying to be Marilyn Monroe.I'm glad your here.I'm looking better all the time.Ha!Ha!

So if the guy at the show had a real 1895 as he said
and was asking i think it was less than 6,000,,it would be a good price yes?
Sam

Prices for any collectible Savage depends on condition and lots of other factors such as special features or barrel config. A half-octagon/half-round 1895 brings more than a normal round, and a 95% condition rifle can bring a LOT more than a 70%.

$6000 is definitely in range for a good 1895.

Where can i find a book on old ammo like savage.
Sam

I feel very dumb right now.
Does any body know that guy,how can i get a hold of him?
For that was the last show of the year.
i would like to give my apologizes to him.
Thank you all for putting up with me.
Sam
