Found what looks like a 1950 99EG at a local gunsmith. Overall looks in fair shape, needs a really good cleaning (barrel copper fouled) and in the photo, I notice what looks like a possible crack in the stock at the butt.
I'm a Marlin lever action guy mostly, but my Dad had an older 99 in 300 Savage that he gave to my brother. I always thought it would be great to own one.
Wish it hadn't been D&T'ed, as I understand that this didn't come from the factory that way.
That all being said, what would something like this run, a ballpark figure?
Going back tomorrow to take a better look. Only had a few minutes the other day.
Appreciate the input.
I'm wondering if holding out for a take down in 300 Savage would be best.
