I have a 99F 308Win that I acquired a few months ago, to bring my collection to three. The LBC is an H, which makes it the same year of manufacture as me, 1956. I find that very cool! The serial # is 9134XX. In David's book, on page 84. it lists start serial #'s for that year at 7731XX, and the start # for '57 at 927489. That seems a bit curious to me. Did Savage actually produce 150,000 99's that year, or is there some other explanation?
