Savage EG 250 Caliber - 09/26/20
Just wonder if anyone is contemplating selling a 1945-early 1950ish 99EG in 250 Savage. Like the checkered versions vs the older pre 1940 smoothie's. Want one stock, ie. no buttpad or receiver drilling. Have been checking the classifieds for some time with no luck, also GunBroker and Guns International. GB and GI ones usually have something that steers me clear and/or are wanting to much IMO, guess that's the new norm for 99's right now.
Had a sack over my head and my pants down about three weeks ago on a nice one out of one of the NE states. Really nice shape, all original, talked with gunshop seller. He advised selling for one of his customers that was part of his late Dad's collection. Advised that it hadn't been shot much and very well cared for. First 5-7 day or so bidding went without one bid. Could have bid on at the last and had it for around $1100, but I was bidding on a Smith and Wesson Model 27 5" revolver at the time so let it go. The Smith 27 bidding went nuts and by the time it was sold, the EG had expired. On the second 5-7 day listing the last hour or so frenzy took it I believe up to $1600. Snooze ya lose!!!! Will consider any offers if any of ya want to part with one.
