serial # places it as produced about 1939. Savage was gearing up for WWII production and probably cleaning up leftover parts. That could be a leftover 99B barrel or maybe Savage just decided to make a few 303 99G's with 24" barrels. The only cataloged G with a 24" barrel was the 300 Savage. I posted information and pics of some 99K's in 250-3000 with 24" barrels about a year ago. The K's were only cataloged with 24" barrels in 300. "With Savage never say never".
