Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Got offered one tonight

Savage 99C 308 with octagonal barrel. Mint, but no box.

$1500

Thought about it hard but passed.

Not many out there, and I've been wondering what the new going price for them was given the general leap in postmil prices the last couple of years.

Still wondering.

I was lucky to be able to get John Wright's from his auction.

I would think that was a reasonable price for one,never seen one myself. Im still looking for the correct rifle and shotgun barrel to fill my case,thats my priority of the moment! Don

Got a shooter grade one a few months ago for 700.

Got a couple of these including one brand new in box. Wonder what it’s worth?

What caliber is that NIB one?

LHS

That would be a hard one to walk away from!

The new in box rifle is a 308 it is the only caliber that this rifle was produced in because they used leftover barrels from the 1895 commemorative rifles and these 308c rifles with octagon barrels are uncatalogued.

I already have a 99C in 284 and even killed some dandy bucks with it. If I am going to get one this late in production, it’s to use it.

The gun I use for 308 is my 99R in 308.

This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting your husband. I was dumbfounded when hw told me who you were.

You guys with the NIB octagon C's got me to thinking and searching. I was lucky enough to locate one and once I actually saw it, I couldn't turn it down. It is actually only the second one I have ever seen.

first one I ever saw was new with out the box, bought it for $400. must have been about 20+yrs ago

I've posted the connection a couple times. Sun and Kurt are the only two that have stopped by my camp in WV. Well, except Gary and Randy, and they just want to drink my beer!

I told Kurt yesterday when he told me who she was, that I thought it was Larry Root using another AKA name. He about pee'd his pants.

I promise I am a real person. I let Kurt read all the posts and give me the highlights. He has more time than I do.

Thank you. I enjoyed meeting Kurt finally. He is a proud man and I for one, know WHY!!!!!!!
