Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Help with date of manufacture and model

I have recently purchased my first Savage 99--I am sure it is a later production due to the condition of the rifle. It is identified on the left side of the barrel as a 99C, but I am trying to figure when it was produced, and if it is a 99CD. It has a serial number {F7943--} and has a smooth Monte Carlo stock. Any help in dating this rifle will be appreciated.

Looks like it is probably 1999 manufacture, definitely one of the last ones made. It would be a 99C, the 99CD was long out of production by then and they gave all the 99C's a monte carlo stock.

I had one in 300 Savage from that year, looks like this? 1999 99C..




PS: Welcome to the forum!

Thank you for your help and prompt reply. It definitely looks similar--Got it because it was in excellent condition and has a Trijicon 3X9X40 scope mounted and is in .308. Figured it should be a good shooter.

Be interesting to hear what they said if somebody called in with one of these late 99's for service. Say a rebarrel/rechamber to 7mm08.
