Looking at this rifle for sale at a price around $550. Does anyone have experience with this rifle? Please hurry, going tomorrow to look or buy. Thanks, Keith

Not an H, either an F, R or an EG.

Any of those three made in 56 in 308 is a steal at $550 if it's got condition.

So what is wrong with the H model? Made in MA in 1956.

The H was discontinued decades earlier.

Listen to what mad dog posted.

According to Savage, the H was still made in 1956 and not decades earlier. Made in Fairfield, MA according to serial number. The H stands for 1956 made. Look up Savage mfg. dates. Thanks for your opinion, however.

You are wrong - and that's not an opinion.

Just where are you getting this info??

Are you talking about the lever boss date code?

That is not a model designation.

Right off the savage mfg. date website.http://www.savage99.com/dates.htm
Look it up, just put in savage dates of mfg. and the letter H indicates date of mfg. So tell me this is wrong or savage dates are incorrect.

You asked about a 99H made in 1956. The date code is not the model designator.

Do you know anything about actual model differences?

You can learn something here if you don't act like an arrogant prick.

H is a date code that was on an inspectors stamp. The only models made in 1956 were those mentioned above.

99EG has a thin forearm with schnabel end. The 99F has a raised boss at the rear sight, 22" barrel and will have 99F stamped on the barrel. The 99R has a fat and wide forearm with rounded end and 24" barrel.

Welcome to the campfire. The fact Savages are confusing is why we are here. grin

Thanks for your input. You are a gentleman not like the others on this website. Perhaps the owner gave me the wrong letter. Will know tomorrow.

Then what the hell are you doing on this site, butt head? I probably got the wrong info over the phone from the seller and this has led to this? I will get the right info when I see the rifle again and learn about what I was asking. In the meantime, go to Hell. I do not need anything from an ignoramus outfitter like you. There are other websites who don't conform to pinheads.

Idiots abound. If only there was a use for them. Just another stupid outfitter moron who has sat on his brain (peanut size) around drinking beer and talking horns. You paste so much on this site you must not have anything better to do. Get a life, imbecile!

You first posted here an ignorant man seeking knowledge. Several people tried to educate you and you decided to pick a fight with one of them because you apparently didn't like what you were hearing. You can learn here or you can continue to be an arrogant ass. Your choice.

Pull your fingers out of your ears and listen. The "H" is a DATE code, NOT a model number. In 1956 there were 3 models available, an EG, an F and an R, they all had an "H" stamped on them, because the "H" is a DATE code, NOT a model. Your info was correct it has an "H" date code. You have to tell us what it LOOKS like to find out the MODEL. Remember "H" is DATE only. The "H" in the little oval has nothing to do with model, it's a DATE stamp. Savage started the DATE code in 1949 with "A", 50-"B", 51-"C", etc.

You said you looked up the DATE on the SAVAGE DATE site. Then you started calling the DATE the Model.

So, take this piece of chalk and write on the chalk board, "A=1949, B=1950, C=1951, and these are DATES", 100 times. When you are done we will give you a new piece of chalk and start on the MODELS.

A 308 in any of the three models available with condition would be a good deal. I'm not sure if the EG was drilled and tapped by the factory for a scope. But if all other conditions were good, I'd go for it. Good luck and welcome to the site, Joe.
