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!
303 Savage ammunition....pricey, but available.

Me, too, for pics and price.

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.
