Hey guys, managed to get my hands on a pair of Savage 99 takedown in .303 savage and 22 HP. I have no clue what they're worth and would like to know.

Also, I've heard you had to watch out for the headspace on the takedowns, could that be an issue?

******I haven't gotten a chance to put my hands on them yet and turns out the older 22 HP has a chunk missing in the hand guard and has been reblued (hot blue) which sucks tremendously. ******

Condition is everything..You will need to post pics for accurate estimates.Some nut has an 99E "economy" carbine on the ee for a whopping $750 shipped lol. Yours are worth more than that one regardless of condition i would think.Having said that, no 99E is worth anywhere near $750.

Only 'cause of the unsightly forend
 
Just got a nice 99C in 308 Win (detach. mag) made in 1965. Surprised how light it is. Going to the range tomorrow to try it out.
 
"Good condition for their age" doesn't really help evaluation. I have a 99 made in 1952 that could almost pass for new if it had hang tags on it.
Good photos would help. Both are in challenging calibers, from the shooting standpoint.
I'd suggest that the absence of cracks or breakage behind the upper receiver tang would enhance values.
 
wow if thy could talk ,,thy have had some life that's for sure ,as far as what thy are worth well not a lot lol ,pretty rough all the way around ,I would not pay 200$ for both ,,just some good old shooters as thy are way past what any collector would even look at and not to my guys would buy them to hunt with ,,,Dutch ps I still like them ,just for what thy are
 
Dunno Scruff.............go shoot the kritters and if'in they decide to please, keep the
golldang targets.
Last gun show I set up at I took most the shooters out in the bush and did a decent
job of making some acceptable targets.
Roll'd'im up and drawp'd'im on the barrel with an 'lastic band to hold'im thar.
Prewf wuzz in dah pudd'n.
Sumtimes folk like good chewters.
Save the pretty gals fer mah.

Dunt listen tuh Dutch, heez still gartzs his pinkies stuck in the dike.............:cool:
 
Pretty rough shape coupled with hard to get ammo chamberings, I'm afraid there is not a lot of value there. I'm guessing the .22 is an early 99-H by the look of the barrel probably made in 1900 or so to 1920. Can't tell with the other but it is newer than the .22. My opinion is they are worth around $450 for the pair without better pics.
 
Thanks guys,
from the original pictures I had these rifles looked in really good shape, bad angles/lighting can do a hell of a job at "restoring" a rifle... lol

Sadly they're far from pristine so no value to a collector. You will sell them to a gunnut that handloads, but that's about your only hope in that department. Someone will buy 'em (someone will buy damn near anything) but not for gobs of money.
 
many many years ago my dad got one in 22 hp with a muffler screwed on it .I know ,,,lol anyway it was a ton of fun to shoot and I have always had a think for them ever since then ,,D
