What is the age and value of a Savage 99 250 3000?

Answer 1

The Savage 99 was manufactured from 1899 to 1950. There is a serial number list in the back of the Blue Book of Gun Values. There are over 30 listings for the model 99. Some models can be eliminated because they were not chamnbered for the 250/3000 Savage, but you need to get a copy and identify your particular model.

Just my opinion but who cares how old a 99 is? Unless you're going to sell it. Most importantly do you enjoy hauling an unbalanced club around on a hunting trip or displaying the same in rec room, or would you rather be seen using (most likely more frequently) a well balanced good looking rifle that makes your friends drool even if it is older than most of them? Blue book value is only a starting point as all the qualities you find in a superior firearm are found in a well cared for 99. I wouldn't hesitate in purchasing most calibers if the price was in the $400 to $600 range for use down here in eastern Washington. Fortunately I have suficiant 99's in the proper calibers to hunt anything in this part of the state (all the USA actually) although I'd probably use something a little more capable in Grizzly country than the Win 358. Don't ask how many, enough to say that I can pass on to my granddaughters and grandsons a selection to allow them to be a well armed hunters (huntress?). Walt Smith

as to savage model 99 250-3000 was also reintrodused in 1971 for a short time so as to age you need a serial no to determine age
