Butt is a replacement, fore end refinished over the gouge in it.
Best advice given so far? "If it was worth the price, it would already been gone"
America is (supposed to be) a Republic, NOT a democracy. Learn the difference, help end the lie. Fear a government that fears your guns.

Problem with most of the 303's is the bore looks like a sewer pipe from non cleaning after corrosive primed ammo use..mb Yup ETA OP, the 303 is equivalent to the 30/30. For some reason, 99's in 30/30 seem to sell for less than any other caliber. I would love an original condition takedown in 303 with a great bore but they are too much $$$$. Lotta unknowns, no details, appears full redo, around 5 seems correct ball park for that 1899A Couple of corrections, never seen or heard the "sewer pipe" issue with Savages, I think the poster is confusing a comment about .303 Brit. The other, .303 is NOT equivalent to 30-30. They are not interchangeable, and loaded to original spec., the .303 Savage is a fair bit ballisticly superior. No sir, I am familiar with both 303's, and the 99's with bad bores I have seen were most often 303. Nobody else said the 303 was "interchangeable" with the 30/30, that'sall you. Ballistically, they are equivalent, with the 303 being marginally superior. Mule Deer compared the case capacity of both and found them to be within a tenth of a grain. Not identical, not the same, not interchangeable; just equivalent. No deer would know the difference.

I have a 99 takedown In original finish (not new condition) with a bright shiny bore. I’ve killed deer and caribou with it, spruce grouse too, with the.410 barrel.
You can reload.303 with.30-30 data. I don’t see where there’s a whole lot of difference ballistically, other than.303 was originally loaded with 190 grain bullet (at proportionally less speed than .30-30 170 grain.)
In any event, it’s one of my favorites.

Hard to tell without looking at the rifle in person 500-600 if refinished, 1600 to 1800 if Original

Is it a 30 caliber or .303? How's it marked? 30 Sav would be a 30-30 chambering. 303 Savage is just that. Either should have a .308 bore if that's what you're asking.

303 savage. It appears like it is still considered 30 caliber, as the 303 British is 312.

I use 30-30 load data and projectiles. The brass and dies are enough different as to not be interchangeable.

Savage Arms did not care to promote another manufacturers proprietary cartridge, early Savage 99’s had a SAV 30 barrel stamp instead of the 30 W.C.F. barrel stamp that Winchester used. Both cartridges are one and the same.
