Posted By: valleypigs Savage 99...what do I have? - 02/19/07
I am new to this forum, so please bear with me if I am requeting info that is already here somewhere. My dad just picked up a Savage 99 F at a show because he has always loved the look of them, but he knows little about the values/quality/collectability of the numerous variations. He asked me to search the web for info. I have learned some in the past 2 days but I do not have much if any real knowledge about this model either, I mostly know modern bolt guns. So...it is stamped Savage 99F with "D" under it, serial # 1146xxx, good blue, minor wood ding, clean crisp checkering, pistol grip, 300 savage chambering, sling studs, drilled and tapped (factory I assume). Can anyone tell me what he has and likely value. I am waiting on digital pics from him. Thanks in advance.
value/3-500$
quality/quality went south at serial number 1 million.
collectability/eh at best...JMO
oh hey...welcome!

It is around a 1967 production rifle.
Welcome to the form, theres alot to learn here, and alot of good folkson here. jJohn
Can anyone tell me what the "D" stands for? And what should I look for regarding quality problems with rifles over 1 million serial number?

The "D" is just an inspectors stamp.
