Looking for input here, on the value of this shooter grade rifle. Seems to be a solid rifle, not used much. Excellent bore. I've shot 3 different 120gn loads through it, they were all sub 2" 5 round groups. I expect it to do better with a little work. I think it is 1975 vintage.

Pretty gun, am I seeing the round counters on the left hand side ???
What is the effect on game with the 87 grn bullet at 3000fps ?? :)
I have never owned a 99 Savage, but have been somewhat interested in the 250-3000 due to its name.
Good to see spring has sprung in the North.

Boy, how the times have changed.
Ten years or so ago this thread would be swamped.

Pretty little ker-pow you have there lledwod.
And to think I still have all my 250-3000 reloading supplies I was considering selling.

No idea what the gal is worth in real time.

Send me a p.m. if you aren't seeking a kings ransom for it.
 
I bought one just like it years ago because the local store had lots of Winchester factory rounds for super cheap. Mine had the 22" barrel, some I believe had a 20" tube. I shot many caribou with the 87 grain SP loads and they worked surprisingly well. I still have the rifle and lots of the Winchester white and yellow box ammunition. The 100 grain silver tips were used on two black bears. The 1-10" twist of these later rifles is preferable in my opinion. I once shot a wolf with the 87 grain load and it required a bit of sewing to say the least! The little Savage .250 with a 100 grain partition is a fantastic combination.
 
That is chambered in 250 Savage which will stabilize all 25 calibre bullets. The 250-3000 is the same cartridge but the barrel is slower twist which generally has trouble with bullets heavier than 87 grains.

With 100 grain Hornady SP bullets that rifle would be a deer-killing machine!
 
I’m making a WAG , based on old purchases, but would put it anywhere between $550-$800.

Nicer wood, even with the few marks, then usually seen.

Not a collector but a dandy hunting rifle. Think it would really depend on what it is worth to buyer and seller

I like these a bunch
 
For what its worth, the last two 99's that I looked at were chambered in 300 savage. They were priced at $500 and $650 condition was slightly better than yours.
 
The .250 Savage is a desireable chambering, and yours has the 1:10 twist, which a lot of people are looking for.
Even with the scratches, it would likely sell quickly for $750.00 or so.
 
I have a Savage 99 (dated 1961 from what I could tell) in 308. It has a gold trigger. Wood, everything is in good shape. It looks good. There is some wear on the blueing but that is it.
I was given it a few months ago. It has a scope and shot well the one time I took it out. I doubt it is worth anything major but it would be nice to know if anyone has an general idea.
 
I had the same model and configuration, sold it for $400 because it was going to a grandfather to give to his grandson as his first rifle. Probably worth a couple hundred more on the market.
 
I had one and according to the records they should all be 1-10 twist............mine was 1-14............NFG with anything heavier than 87gr.You can get 100gr KKSP's to shoot but they are now extinct.
