Look at the prices of the first book. It's more of a pamphlet really.

What did P.T.Barnum say??

Amazon has "sellers" that put ridiculous prices on books looking to hook suckers.

Check ebay for actual, realistic prices on gun books.

Oh how I love the 99's! 聽Shot my first deer in 1978 with a model 1895 chambered in .303 Savage. Every store that carried ammo back then most likely carried .303 Savage. I kept a bunch of boxes and have them to this day.聽I still have that old rifle, along with a model聽1899 of the same caliber. I've traded a couple others I now regret letting go.聽聽Smoothest lever gun聽need ever produced IMHO. 聽

Factoid: In the movie Death Hunt, Charles Bronson carries a Savage 99. Cool. You never see them in movies.聽

We'd love to see them!

If you click the top link above, you'll find that Amazon has a book to tell you about them for only $1125.......plus shipping.

The bottom link is seriously a great book about them.

I'll dig them out. The 1885 was 聽unfortunately severely聽聽damaged in a house fire many years ago. Serial #7xxx. BUT I saved it,聽minus the destroyed stock and forearm. 聽Ive had work done on it (it is only valuable to me now). 聽I will post when I get a chance, along with the 1899.聽

As for books, The Ninety-Nine: a history of the Model 99聽Rifle by Doug Murray used to be the go to聽

Yeah. That's the one Amazon wants so much money for now.
