Sounds like the shipper aged it based on the numeric part of the serial number - 349,0xx would be the 1930's. But in 1969 they started using a letter prefix on the serial numbers. So D3490xx would be very early 1980, around February.

Also, the 308 Win wasn't possible in a Savage 99 until 1955, so 1930's is definitely out.

Thanks, for the swift reply. Maybe my mind isn't as feeble as I thought.

Pretty stoked to get this up on the wall and then to the desert to see what she'll do.


If I talk over you, I apologize. I'm afraid I will lose my train-of-thought.

The 250 99-A...is it 20" or 22" barrel? Case colored or blued lever?

I forgot all about this thread. I think someone told me Rick was looking for one of these? It's a 250, 22" barrel. Refinished wood, but I really like the looks of it. John down in FL rehomed it to MD. I think something in the flash made the forearm look kind of strange, the finish doesn't look like that.

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