The JTC letter on my 99CD R&D rifle says it was produced in 1974, the year before the CD was released. It was used as a show sample and was probably the rifle which was first used in the 1975 catalog. It was retained by the factory until it was sold to Nick Rosselli who was a gun smith in Westfield, January 19, 1981. The only markings on the rife are 250-3000 Savage on the barrel and RD278 on the left side of the receiver. I got it from Loggah's brother Dick in 2014. David

With Savage never say never.
