I just went to a gun show today, in the whole building, I found 3 Savage 99's! Two were about 750 and the third was 699. At best, these were 80% condition.
The Savage 99 has become a rare collectors item down here! The last gun show that I went to last year, I found only one 99 in the building! It was a 30/30 at about 80% condition. The asking price was about 650! I will not give close to these prices for a Savage 99!
One word of caution: there are several models and grades of the Savage 99, and they were made up into the 1970-80's! There are big price differences between these rifles, so be careful and do your homework!
IMO, the Savage 99 in 30/30, defeats the 99's enduring quality; the box magazine!
