Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors 99 F WTB

I would like to find this 99 F Serial #782760

Fug, I have actually sat on the proverbial Needle In A Haystack a couple times. Do you have an idea of where the rifle might be? I'll keep an eye out in the MD, PA area, shops, shows etc. When was the last time it was seen? Good luck with the hunt, Joe.

Any hints as to why?

I was going to tell him "I've got it", but I don't know if his heart could bear it!

I think he's looking for one of Jed's 1957 twins.

I have never seen it,maybe triplets

So, you think there might be three? That's possible.

Pretty sure Jed at one time said he lettered his and that the letter stated there were three with the same serial number, and that it wasn't a singular occurrence.

That would mean that there were two made in the same caliber. No law against it at the time, I guess.

That serial number is the one on both of Jed’s “Twins”. I don’t recall the letter stating there were 3 but I can’t remember. Who knows if Jed has them anymore? He was offering them, and I was interested in the .300 Savage, but at that time he wanted to sell them as a set along with the JC letter.

They are 3 different calibers same serial, as I understand it you can still do that.
Savage made more than one set of 2 or triplets of guns that way.

I had a Ruger Black Hawk, Buckeye Special. It had two cylinders, one in 32-20 and one in 32 H&R mag. A couple years later they came out with a Buckeye Special in 45 ACP with a half moon clip and a 45 long Colt cylinder. They wound up with a series of several convertibles. If you were the original purchaser of the first series, the 32-20, you could get the rest of the series with the same serial number. This was in the early 80's, Joe.

Jed's 2 were .300 Savage and .250-3000 Savage

The 1968 Gun Control Act made unique serial numbers per manufacturer the law. So serials have to differ by a letter or number since then.

I took a Rem. 1100 12gage to U.S. Customs at DTW airport where I worked to get my Paper work done the woman doing it ran My ser.# said it was a stolen gun, about 10 cops bust in and grabed me, wanted to see the stolen rifle, as I explained I brought in a shotgun! seems like Rem. had a rifle same Ser.# as my Rem shotgun! was let go and the sargent, said he was sorry!
