2. Remington Model 700 BDL, either 30-06/270 or 308/243 (those are the calibers I see most often under $400)
3. Remington Model 760, 30-06 or 270
4. Savage 99, 300 Savage
5. JC Higgins FN Mauser actioned sporter, 30-06 or 270.

All of the above I've either bought, or seen for sale, for under $400. In fact, depending on condition most on that list can he had for $350 or under. One reason I'm not too excited about the Savage Edge or Marlin XL7 grin

So, what would your choices be?


Where are you finding decent Savage 99s these days for under $400?



ive found 3 of them for $300 or less......

They're out there, you just have to look for them and be willing to settle for the less desirable models; e.g., those that are drilled and tapped, lack the rotary magazine, or have the impressed checkering.

the ones ive found have only been D&Ted from the factory and have the rotary mag.....the buttstock has been cracked behind the receiver on 2 out of 3 but thats not abnormal on a 60 plus year old 99......
