What you don’t know is how much I do know. Guys like you will always be driving a used truck and living in a trailer. I would guess I have more value in gun safes than your house is worth. And there it is. ^^^^^^ I stayed out of this baited trap knowing any shrapnel schitshow ALWAYS ends up here ^. He never cared about anyone's opinion, he was just looking for another opportunity to show the world what a misguided dick he can be. I think the correct term is troll.

I reckon I misunderstood the purpose of this thread. Sometimes we forget it is the Campfire. I don’t know anything about Savage 99’s and I knew there were quite a few here that did. I came across the listed 303 Savage and could make a trade for it at a net cost of $550.00. Not knowing anything about models of Savage 99’s and the condition of this one looked genuinely original. It’s not like I haven’t seen refinished guns and so forth, but in the hands, this gun didn’t look refinished. There were enough comments by guys that knew what they were talking about, that I let it go. Lighting for what it was and how far I was away from home, time at the show and unanswered questions, made me post it here to get a Savage 99 expert’s opinion. As usual, you have a few losers that know everything about guns and gun shows, but there was also good advice from a few knowledgeable people about which model would be a shiny, bright blue, rather than a less shiny finish. If I get a gun that is new to me, I have to be able to live with it if I get stuck with it and I don’t think a 303 Savage would be one I could shoot easily if I did get it. If it was a 250 Savage, I would have made the deal without any questions… Gotcha. I’m set up to load 303 Sav, so caliber wouldn’t an issue for me, but hunting down brass could be a headache these days if you don’t already have it. 1899 Savages are really neat rifles, but it has become damn hard to find one in nice, original condition without a stock cracked where it meets the tang, or extra holes drilled in it for sling swivel studs or scope mounts. This Bannerman ammo is available in Fairbanks Alaska. So it should be almost everywhere. 32 Win Special is the stuff that is hard to get.

My 1926 303 take down has the bad bore, but will still do 3 inches at 100 yds, good enough for close woods hunting. The first smokeless ammo still had corrosive primers and some early stuff was still kicking around for years, just like today when some one gives you some from the 50's 60's or 70's that they found cleaning out uncle Joes garage. Its not a far stretch that the same thing happened in 1930 with 1910 ammo someone found. I fitted mine with a no drill scope mount and a Weaver K3PCH

What was the price on it?
LHS $1400.00 I wasn't the only one to tell you a half a yard. You need to get better at picking the corn out of the sh it. I told you the best advise you got was "if its still there when the Show started its overpriced" And that advice didn't come from me. Very very very very rarely are there any deals at a gun show. Because for two hours before the show opens the Dealers are dealing with each other. What you don’t know is how much I do know. Guys like you will always be driving a used truck and living in a trailer. I would guess I have more value in gun safes than your house is worth. Teach me something Einstein… Really ? Personal insults ? GFY I'll never answer a request for help from you again. I and others here saved you $1500 and you dis us?

[quote=shrapnel]I’m at a gun show and saw this Savage 99 in 303 Savage. I was wondering if anyone had a quick idea of its value. It is in extremely good shape, serial numbered in 200XXX range. Lever is vivid case color, blueing is 95% and wood is 95%. Front sight has blade with a bead formed into it.. Link to some photographs of an 1899B in .303 that I recently sold at auction for $1300 might give you some idea. Lot number 223. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1...NjVmVW5OME85Z2hTNUNDOW9OcXEwNlJaVVJOcFRR
