Bearrr264 had a 99C Series A in 250 Savage that he and I felt was one of the mid-1980's vintage non-cataloged parts guns, but could have been a Savage Services parts gun.

I have a weird one too that I'm pretty sure was put together and shoots/functions flawlessly. A .375win stamped barrel with a clip frame(243/308 mag), finger groove forend, monte-carlo butt with no numbers stamped on either. Serial # is D9824++ on lower left frame edge and no boss stamp.

I would sure like to see a photo of that rifle. I wouldn't think that the 375 would function in a standard magazine since it's a rimmed cartridge. I plan to put some of these anomalies in my next book. David

It does feed better if fourth round is not in clip. I bought this about 10-12 years ago and was always my thought that someone up here had pieced it together.

Any and all guesses/thoughts are welcomed!! I am confused by the "D"serial #, I thought D was used on the solid frame Saddle 99 and "A" was on the C and CD clip 99's?s

Yes, just like the Win95's. It's just a natural movement as the next cartridge I always start forward of the heel even with rimless.

I've had that in mind since early in the work on the current book. Loggah's half octagon SRC probably started me thinking this is a subject that needed exposure. You guys start contacting me with any of these rifles that you have. I'll have some time in Ohio after the gun show there in early May. David

Once the serial numbers went to the letters, A, B, C, etc. all Savage production was numbered as they were produced. In the 1970's they started putting "series A" in the barrel address on all models. This has nothing to do with the serial number. During this time the 99C had a unique barrel address that included the patent number for the detachable magazine. There are 99C's with serial numbers starting with all letters from A to G when the 99C was discontinued. The 99A was produced from 1971 to 1982 or 83 and will have serial numbers from A through D with possibly a few with E's.
