Savage 99 value

[4 eyed six shooter]

A friend has a Savage 99, pre WWII in 30-30. It has a half octigon, half round barrel. I have not seen it but he claims it is 90%. Any idea on the value?
Thanks, John K

REALLY tough to say.

Savage 99s are, more so than many other guns, really regional in their popularity and their values.

Prices in Pennsylvania, where I'm from, tend to go a bit higher because the 99 was pretty popular there, and you tend to see a LOT of them at gun shows.

But, farther south, they apparently weren't as popular, and you don't see as many and the prices are a lot more variable.

I've noticed that the price on savage 99s has been slowly going up over the years so that at retail $350-400 is pretty common here in S.E. PA.

Your description sounds like a rarer variation.

Michigan wise I've seen them from 400 to 600-, kinda steep up heer, got my eye on one, a 30-30 with tang sight just reduced to 400.
