Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Any quick way to tell how a gun left the factory?

Hi guys,

Is there a quick way to ask anybody at Savage if a particular 99 left the factory in a particular configuration?

There's a 99R I'd like to get, but want to make sure it left the factory as a 99R. Will factory letter say what grade/model/caliber is.

It's 300 Savage.

Is it possible this is a

Serial number is 344541 or 34451. Seller wouldn't outright state the whole serial number and the picture he sent was a bit blury.

Just trying to make sure it's not some .300 savage that someone pyt R wood on.
