    I have a model 16 Savage 243 cal. syn. stock, stainless action and barrel. It is topped with a Simmons Aetec 2.8x10x44. The gun and scope are in excellent condition. It is a left handed action. What can I expect/ask for this gun. Thanks for your input. [8D]

    In 95% condition your Smith is worth $425; $550 in 98% condition, and is still manufactured. The Marlin, again assuming 95% condition is worth $225; $265 in 98% condition. The Marlin probably has a pistol grip stock (?), and is actually a Model 444S. The commerative disc makes no difference in the rifle's value as it has been used.

    The Marlin has a straight stock , high comb (no pistol grip)
    and is a model 444, manufactured I'm guessing in 1970,which the serial no, probably reflects .The model 444s came to fruition via user feed back sometime later. I have a Marlin 444s with pistol grip,different stock and shorter barrel.
    Thanks for the values

    Was that the rong answer?[;)]Anyway, being a Model 444 changes the 95% value to $275 in 95% condition and $325 in 98% condition.

    Der Gebirgsjager: No you didn't say the wrong answer and I appreciate
    your input but I just don't understand that when I described the firearm (mod 444) with a straight stock,high comb you somehow thought
    that I was mistaken and meant a pistol grip stock as in the mod 444s
    (which hangs right below the mod 444 on the wall)even though you haven't seen a picture.You must have jumped to a hasty conclusion.

    You know...you are absolutely correct. I humbly apologize. Sometimes I skim-read some of these questions in an effort to answer as many as possible in the increasingly less time I have to devote to the forum. My expertise is actually in the areas of gunsmithing, military rifle collecting, and loading. You will note, however, that mine was the only answer you got! Again, sorry. I have both of your models of the .444 myself (not the medallion variation).

    No need for apologies. Actually it's my "error" because of my vocation.Let me explain: At work when I hand out a task, I give a
    descriptive overview of what I expect to be done and when some one fails to listen or goes off on an unguided tangent it doesn't set well with me because it's ultimately my head on the chopping block,due to time lost or misspent monies.I sometimes take this "attitude" home and I shouldn't. Please except my sincere apologies and I look forward to hear from you again.

    Now, here is a question for reloading. I've been reloading for 15 years ,handguns only (9mm'38/357;44 and 45acp) .I want to reload for
    my 444's and I've researched a bit and come to the conclusion that
    I am going to use hornady interlock 265 fp,imr 4198, winchester large rifle primers (already purchased).In my research the powders H4198
    and Dupont's IMR 4198 seem to be used in the same articles often enough to create some confusion and doubt on my part.In the "burn rate
    chart" they seem to be almost identical, at least in listing order.Today I tried to purchase H4148 and my suppier didn't have any so I purchased IMR 4198.This raises a red flag in my mind. Do these powders indeed have almost identical characteristics or are they "apples" and "oranges"

    Correction: "H4148" should read "H4198" also "suppier should read "supplier". I will proof read my messages with more care from
    this time forward.
