Have a neighbor that may be interested in selling a vintage M99A S/N 1764xx

Caliber is 303 Savage.....rotary counter....not sure of condition yet....

Any attraction to 99 collectors in this caliber ??

Possible pics to follow.........

Depends on condition and price :)

Personally the 303 is the least desirable chambering - no factory ammo, common as 99s go, and very close to 30-30 in performance (and you can still find affordable 99s in 30-30 if you want that type of performance).

Certainly if condition is high or there are rare options etc. price will go way up though!

Haven't used the BA ammo - I do use their re-formed brass and it is good stuff. Would still rather buy a 99 in 30-30 if I was spending the $ for a shooter (or course I would rather have a 32-40 or 25-35 than either of those!).

My '99 is in .300 Savage. I wouldn't trade it for any other caliber.
