Hey guys. I have a nice shooting 99E. Serial# calculators give me some odd answers, but you really seem to know your stuff here. There is no lever boss, unfortunately. The serial number is 5311XX. The prefix is A.

The A is not a prefix, it's part of the SN. The gun was built mid 1970.


I am no longer accepting orders for the Lightfoot scope mount.

The serial would make it a 1953 production and the LBC would be 20E ( a little reverse engineering :))

Hello, I have a good shooting 99F Series A. Serial# calculators give me some weird answers. I could use some help figuring out when it was made. The serial # is C0100xx

TheGunnet, those calculators are only good for pre-1950 rifles usually. Yours dates to the fall of 1975.

Anybody here anymore?

I inherited a 99 from my grandfather. Shot a deer with it that first year, cleaned it and put it in my safe. My 13 year old son is just coming into the hunting scene and he is infatuated with this rifle. Can you please let me know what year is what manufactured and steer me to any information explaning the 99E or 99F, so He and I can learn about grampa's gun together?

The serial number is 4299XX.

Thank you!

Won't be an E or an F, more than likely an EG but could be an R.

Does it have a double grove on the end of the forearm or does it have a Schnabel tipped forearm?

Mad Dog,

Good question! This is where I need the education about Grandpa's rifle. I really have no idea but want to learn about these intricacies. I'm new here also so I'd like to post a picture of it....I need to figure out how!

Here are a few pix of Grandpa's gun...I hope they are attached!

I found this web site, http://www.savage99.com/savage99_dates.htm, which actually made me more confused. It gave me two different dates of manufacture, 1946 or 1918 according to American Rifleman.

Then it said the Lever Boss code of C, gives me a date of 1951.
Is that C in my pictures, the lever boss?

After a little more research, this may help with the manufacture date.

The 300 Savage has the Schnoble Forearm with checkering, Brass rotary magazine and counter and the safety is positioned on the lever.

The first number you got of 1946 is the one you want. The lever boss code system didn't start until 1949, so the c is probably an inspectors mark. The LBC system works like this: 1949 "A", 1950 "B", 1951 "C", no "O" or "Q" because they look too much alike, Joe.


I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Best advice for you is to buy a copy of Doug Murrays book "The Ninety-Nine". Search ebay, or see mailing address at front of this forum, under miscellaneous good info. Probably cost you $30. or less. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

Made in 1945, I've got one very close to that serial number and letter showed 1945.

Thank you for the info!

My son got to take it deer hunting this weekend.
He would have got one if he'd remembered to chamber one!

Regardless he loves it and is so excited to find out when it was made. I'll order my book tonight!

Thanx.
