the s*** end of ontario, but my soul is still up i
hey i have a savage model 1899 that was given to me for christmas by my girlfriends parents last year. you won't see this gun in the ee because i will probably never get ride of it. it is chambered in 30-30, has the orgional sights, round barrel and shell counter on the left side. also has the famous rotary clip. i killed my second deer with it this year. i like it because i can use the polymer tip or hollow point shells(yes they do make hollow point 3030 shells) with out damaging the tips. it has a pitting on the barrel that i am told was from a jug of apple cider(the kind that get you drunk) that was knocked over and dripped on the gun years and years ago. i was just wondering if anyone can tell me an estimated value of this gun and any fun facts u happen to know about it. im pretty sure its the next model after the 95's.
 
Like Brother Rockeye said, condition is everything. I have an 1899 in .30-30 as well, but the stock was in very poor shape and required some extensive repair and refinishing, so there's no collector value left, despite having better than average metal finish and condition. Still, the rifle I have would probably still be worth around $400.00 as a decent shooter. Sounds like yours would be in the same neighbourhood. Best thing to do would be to post photos if you can, then our resident Savage 99 gurus can chime in and set us all straight.

Pictures, more information and we can tell you more. Partial serial number with the last two digits xx out. Barrel length, take down, solid frame, straight grip, pistol grip. The more information the better and pictures are still worth a thousand words!

Still drawing a blank.

Can't see the barrel or the butt stock.

Whats the barrel length, does the butt have a crescent buttplate or a shotgun style buttplate? Rear sight might be original, can't see the front. Serial Range?

Could be an 1899A, 1899A Short Rifle, 1899H, 99A, 99C or a 99D.
