Recently saw a model 99E (308)no extra holes drilled. It has a lighter blonde stock.I've read that some were made from 1975-79?I think this might be one.Didn't get the serial no.Is $400.00 a fair buy?
Buy it! I have one with a very blond obviously unstained stock. It may have had the stain removed and refinished although I've seen quite a few like this. It was produced in 1965 and is uncheckered. I've shot several early E's in 308 that shoot 1" and under groups. What is the serial #?
I had one that I purchased in 1985, that has since been stolen, and I could hit a doorknob with it at 200 yards every time, using 168 grain handloads. Tack driver. Buy it, but look for that Savage crack first. . . (at the top tang area, by the safety).
Here is some pictures. The serial number is 11241xx.Let me know what year it is. Thanks

The post mil 99E safety locks the lever. Not on the tang.
