I have a post-million 99E in 300 Savage with the old style trigger and safety. I think mine was made in 1968, but I would have to check my notes on that. A friend has a 1962 99E in 308 with the new style trigger and, if memory serves, a safety on the trigger, not tang. Mine must have been made up out of leftover parts. I bought it as a barreled action from here on the 'Fire, so I can't say what style of wood mine had from the factory. My friend's 308 99E had birch stocks looking like the light colored wood above.
All the Model 99Es had the lever safety; the other post-60 models had the tang safety.
