Brandon, your rifle will date to late 1960 or early 1961, and sounds like a model 99DL to me because of the monte carlo stock. Take a look at the front of the lever and see if you can find an oval stamp with 1 or 2 numbers followed by a letter inside of it. The letter L would be 1960, M would be 1961.
