I'm not an expert on any of the checker patterns , but the lever boss code is T, also have a bolt action westernfield 712 made by savage with the same checkering made in 1968. I'm not an expert on checkering patterns either. I had a DL once with a late 64 serial number with that pattern, so it is entirely possible that I have confused "only year" with "first year". Somebody else here can prolly tell us all about it.

I think 1966 was first year for the impressed checkering. I prefer the hand checkering, but it is what it is

VERY nice buck. congrats. How far did he go until he dropped. 3 more days until Kansas rifle season. I already got a small buck with a longbow, but hoping to post a doe pic with my 300 EG. Well done!

Somebody else here can prolly tell us all about it. The 99E's probably kept that pattern longer than the DL's. The E's had a lot of variation.

Wow, very nice! All the deer on my mountain don't add up to that one. Congrats, Joe.
