Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors peeked at a few pawn shop 99s

down in Destin FLA on a vacation stopped in a pawn shop.They had two 99s both pretty rough one in 300 and one in 303 priced in the 650 range but for the condition there in I said no. Me saying no and walking out did amaze my wife and kids though.They do have a ruger number one in 22 hornet im struggling not going back for.

I bought me a number one in 7 x57 yesterday !

It came with a 3x9 vxII and 100 rounds factory ammo and 40 once fired brass!

I am very happy about it.

Angus1895. I have a number one RSI in 7x57 or as the yuppies say the Rigby real nice shooting rifle other than 99s my biggest weak spot is number ones

I have an RSI also. In 7x57 and a 45/70 I ain’t sure what model that on is.

I like number ones.

I've always been intrigued with how many nice weapons end up in Pawn Shops out that way.

Here not so much.

"Walking out" sounded like a wise decision to me!

From what the guy in the store told me
People
From up north and from the west move south to sunny Fla bring there guns and than realize there not gonna hunt and they become beach bumbs he chickled and said eventually we get 90% of them

I have a #3 in 25-35 and it's so much fun to shoot, I could see having a 22 Hornet in one also.

If you don't go back, I wouldn't mind knowing the name of that pawn shop. I am in the market for a 22 Hornet and a Ruger #1 in that caliber sure would be nice.

unfortunately I've been back home over a week but it was on emerald coast highway about a mile or so from the bridge to head twos the Air Force base
If I can remember the name of the shop I will pass it on to you for Sure

Not much in pawn shops here, mostly junk
