Value of the rifle is absolutely impossible to determine given that at the time they could be ordered with a significant number of custom accessories and enhancements, and these can dramatically affect the price.

Anymore, and remembering that gun prices are HIGHLY regional, a nice condition 1899 can bring well in excess of $1,000, and that's just for a factory standard model.

I THINK that Hornday is loading .303 Savage ammo once again, so you might try that route.
