Mossy, you could go around the world & most likely never find one to match that awesome 1899!

Wow, that's sweet!!!
You didn't pay "too much" -- you just "bought it a decade early"...
And 10 years from now, that price will seem like a bargain!
Good luck!

Oh, and that rear Lyman tang sight that's adjustable for windage is easily worth $200 or so, so deduct that from the final price too.

Old No7 beat me to it on that Lyman, great sight for a fine rifle! The issue rear sight is interesting too. Do you know when it was made?

I'd say that you've gotten the Holy Grail of Savage 1899/99's - CONGRATS ! !
I've been eye-balling a very lightweight .303 Savage myself, in a Cabela's used gun rack, outside the big $$$$ gun library's doors.

That is SOooo nice.
I once, no twice owned a 99F in 250 so I know how sweetly it shoots. Mine was not a take-down, nowhere near the condition of yours and didn't have that Lyman sight yet I loved it.

Wonder of wonders to find a brand new rifle like that. It was meant to be yours and has been just waiting for you all those years. Amazing!!!
Re: Found a beautiful Savage 1899 take down 250-3000
I hope you aren't offended if I say I hate you right now?
GREAT find! Would you tell us the ballpark you paid for it?

Every so often, maybe a few times in a lifetime, the price does not matter one little bit.

Re: Found a beautiful Savage 1899 take down 250-3000
Well Cabelas had a one day 10 percent off guns in the library so with tax and all the other fees it was $1200. I really didn't think that was all that high considering some of the nice later 99's are going for $700 to$900Merle wrote:I hope you aren't offended if I say I hate you right now?

Thanks. Considering how nice it was I'd say it's worth it!

Re: Found a beautiful Savage 1899 take down 250-3000
Not sure what would be too much for that but $1200 wasn't.
Re: Found a beautiful Savage 1899 take down 250-3000
Great snag. You could easily make your money back and then some from any Savage collector. Enjoy your new rifle and shoot it.
Re: Found a beautiful Savage 1899 take down 250-3000
It's pretty hard to pay too much for one that nice! Plenty of guys have paid that much for one of them plastic and aluminum black spray paint thingy rifles. Now that's a beaut. I'd be proud to own it. Ya done good!
Re: Found a beautiful Savage 1899 take down 250-3000
Wish I could find one in Australia for that price.

Re: Found a beautiful Savage 1899 take down 250-3000
I think You did real Good on that one. Pay the Money and Cry only Once. If We could buy New 99's that had the quality of the old ones for that price I know a whole bunch of people who would be lined up. Enjoy.
Re: Found a beautiful Savage 1899 take down 250-3000
For those in New England who want something very close to that one, Kittery Trading Post has a nice takedown Savage 99 in 250-3000 -- with a Lyman tang sight (but not a windage adjustable version) -- for $1,195.Mossyoak1957 wrote:Well Cabelas had a one day 10 percent off guns in the library so with tax and all the other fees it was $1200.

But it's clearly been refinished and is not original.............
Based on that, I'd say Mossyoal1957 did well on his.
