Can any one out there tell me the approximate value of the following Savage model 99 described as follows:
1. absolutely MINT condition
2. SN 40xyyy (less than 1 million) on the receiver........no letter prefix ( by SN it was built in 1941)
3. marked as Model 99 (no letter suffix)
4. barrel marked --- High Pressure Steel and Utica N.Y. U.S.A.
5. scnable(SP) forestock
6. pistol grip with hardwood diamond shaped inlay
7. circular brass inlay in bottom of buttstock for engraving of initials(unmarked)
8. very fancy black walnut stocks with cut checkering, high gloss emaculate finish (not oil finished, some kind of 'varnish'?)
9. rotary magazine
10 300 Savage chambering
11. Lyman tang mounted peep sight
12. brass insert front sight
13. jeweled breach block
14. magazine round counter and receiver top cocking indicator
15. safety is on the bottom of the receiver and also keeps the lever from opening
16. butt plate is marked as Savage...It is a steel stamping with the SVG logo coined into it.
17. receiver not drilled and tapped for scope
18. bore slick and shiny
19. crown looks good
This rifle is to die for.
Thank you for your help
