The 99T arrived today. The serial number is a bit under 350,000, 347.xxx, so it breaks the historical rule … but it sure looks like a legitimate T. All numbers match and there is a T stamped on the front end of the receiver. What do you think?

I've taken a lot of pictures, so if you need to see more detail, let me know.

Scabbard's not right, obviously aftermarket addon.

grin

THAT is a killer 99T. My earliest 99T is right at 350,xxx, but I see no reason to think they couldn't have started a few months earlier.

Are you sure Savage hasn't started making 99's again?

Looks like it just came from the factory. Great find!
