I don't own enough firearms to buy the Bluebook of Gun Values so I was hoping someone could help me out with finding the Model / Manufacturing Info / Date on a Savage .300 model 99.
The Serial Number is :
758XXX

Thank You.

    Welcome to the forum. At minimum we need a valuation of condition. Meaning is it 100% as new in the box or beat all to he!! and rusty to boot. Good digital pictures wood be the best way to get a better opinion. Lastly have you done a search over on the auction side and looked at adds for model 99s of similar vintage and condition.

    Savage99.com has a serial lookup.

    Does it have a brass counter, steel, or a magazine feed?

    Is it drilled and tapped? Does it have a metal buttplate?

    You Want Brass, no drill, no rubberpad.

    I just saw a rusty 99 here go at auction for $485.
    I sold a nice one for $525.

    Couldn't find anything from the look-up on 99.com.
    It's a model "F".
    22 inch barrel
    Front Site:
    Metal bead in raised ramp.
    Rear Site:
    Leaf Sight in ramp(?)
    pistol grip stock with fine checkering.
    "steel shotgun" butt
    Good condition, no major knicks, only one minor knick in the wood and it's barely a scratch.
    The only rust is on the metal but pad and it's not much.
    I will try to get some good pictures in a few.
    Thank you all.

    99's also show considerable regional price variation. .300 Savage is probably the most common caliber in 99's (that is not a bad thing, the .300 is a better cartridge than an .30-30) but .300's bring a little less than calibers that are less common and more sought after. How much bluing is left on the receiver and lever?
