Does anyone know what year the .308 winchester was chambered in the 99? I'm trying to narrow down what this is chambered in and I know that I can load and easily eject a full magazine of savage 300 but I don't know if there are similar rounds for this year. I think it's 1952.
308/243/358 requires a receiver with a serial number over 900,000. Earlier receivers won't fit the longer 308 family of cartridges in the rotary magazine. 1952 would be just 300 Savage and 250 Savage rifles.
