All:
Since the DL is one of the later models in Savage 99 production, how common are DLs in 300 Savage?
Thank you,
RAS

I think not very common, but I would defer to Roy on that one, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Very uncommon, but not impossible to find

I don't know that I have ever seen anything other than a cut checkered 300 DL. Pretty sure Savage had all but given up on the 300 before 1965...

Ok, thanks guys.
I have one with pressed checkering. It is pretty nice. Will get serial number tomorrow.

300 DL's aren't all that hard to find. the 243 is more rare IMO . now the 250 ? someone hear on the fire claims to have a real one. I've been searching for 10+
years .I've never seen one
plab
Gotta love them 303's

Again, pressed checkering.
1,089,1XX is the serial #.
What is the date of manufacture?
Thank you
