Savage 99 in 300 Savage

[PerversPépère]

Hello!
One of my friends has a very nice Savage 99 in 300 Savage to sell.
How much do these go for usually? I know there are many variations and shades in those rifles but what can be the average for a very clean average rifle?
If it looks like a real newbie question, that's OK: I'm one on this...

Lots of considerations before pricing it, best PM Maddog for details.

I'll wait for pics before doing so. I'll publish them here too.
BTW, is this chambering a sought-after one?

Depends on the actual model--250's and .308's seem to be more sought after for hunting rigs--although there is no finer deer/black bear cartridge than the .300 savage.

I'll give him $100 for it.

I sold a E model in 300 for$650 but it was a pretty color

Check Elwood Epps listing, lots of Savages there. I think the prices are on the high side. 300 is a good deer and even moose cartridge.

My 99 in .300 sav. holds 6 rounds. On this day I needed all six rounds in a hurry.

Handsome is as handsome does, as they say in the Shire.

300 Sav is very common in the 99

I had trouble selling a decent 1950s .300 for $250. take it from there.

 

[250 sav]

$250-$450 unless it's spectactular or sh1tty cond

Must have been one of them fugly EG's cause if it was an R it would sell real fast.

PP, get a serial range on the rifle as well.

Kinda sad when a rifle such as the 99 sells for prices similar to tube magazine lever guns.
Don't get me wrong, I love my '94s, but the 99 just should be worth more $

Speaking of 99 model designations Mad Dog, would you happen to know what they all stand for?

I have a 99C and a 99E (for now...lol) and I'm curious what the differences are between them and say the "R" series?

 

[MadDog]

To hard to just play with 3 different models. There were over 30 different Savage lever action variations.

A C would be a mag fed rifle unless it was an early C which would have been a rotary mag with a 22" barrel back in 1922 or the 1899C which had a 26" 1/2 round 1/2 oct barrel back in the early 1900's.

Are you seeing where I'm going with this?

I prefer the R's myself cause they're a nice heavy gun that eats up more recoil than the lighter EG's and such.

 

[CptnBlues63]

LOL - Yes, I see....and thanks.

I'll snoop around google a bit and see if I can't find out more. Maybe I'll email the Savage people and ask them..........

Here's a link to Violater22's website it shows most of the different models and some good general info about 99's.
