That serial is a bit to low for a 99G, so if it’s in 250-3000 then it will be a second version of the Savage 1899 model 250-3000. It should be a takedown and have a pistol grip, but it should also be checkered. If fact, the second version of the 250-3000 looked exactly like the early 99G’s.
I would guess your checkering got sanded off when somebody refinished the stock. It happens.
