LGS has on consignment. Has $899 on it. Said owner will take $750.

It has an older leather sling, mounts/rings, and an old scope. I'm assuming weaver. Doesn't matter, it's not very clear anyway.

Stock looked great and no cracks in the wrist. Action seemed to work fine but was a bit sticky.

Is this a buy it now price? Think it over price? Try to get it lower? Or stay away?

$750 sounds fair

When were they made? I'm not finding a lot of info on them.

1971-1981

It's a fair price. Nice shooting rifle too. Go for it.

If it's in good shape it's a good deal IMO

I hope you have bought it by now!

Nope. I didn’t know anything about it. I’m not sure I want one made in the 70’s.

It’s in good shape for sure.

It's got the 1:10 twist barrel. Great shootin' .250!!

If you can check the bore condition. I recently purchased a '99 that was very clean on the exterior and was "supposed" to have a good bore. Turned out when I scoped it that there are a number of serious pits in it.

TZone, I am up near Lake Vermilion. If you are not going after it, would you message me the details on where it is at. Thanks, Keith

Well that’s good t know. Truthfully the fact that it’s a 250 sav is probably the most appealing part.

then go buy it : sticky bolt or lever is maybe just needs a cleaning.

I have paid 700 to 1000 Canadian for the same gun 9 years ago.

I was thinking the same thing Norm. Needed a good cleaning. Are these things horrible to tear into?

I can walk you through it.

there is probably a lot of people here that were made in the 70's that would get upset

Well I was too. Haha

Ok. If I get I’ll look ya up.

tzone you need to buy it. They are a cool gun.

I got mine at the gun library at Cabelas in Reno about three years ago for $475. They had a bunch of 99's from a collection of a Korea vet. Was jonesin for one in 30-30 and went back a couple of days later but it had already sold.

Mine has a more correct Loupie M8 4x on it now.

pretty rifle. Never understood why they didn't put sling swivels on them.

great 99 have had a couple, every time some one talks me out of it, usually with some thing I wanted more
