Thank you again Calhoun. It was a 300 sav and I've already dialed in the scope. I was picking the pigeons off at around 200 yrds and the other guys around me kinda fell in love with, what they called the old cowboy rifle. One of the younger guys dialing in a new ak 47 said "I want an old cowboy gun!" Im sure ill be needing your guidance again soon cause I think well be seeing more savages in our group of shooters soon.

Glad to help out and to hear that you got things figured out. They are a fun gun to shoot, accurate and not a pain to the shoulder at all.

Yes please .
I'm pretty sure I have the models correct according to Murray's third edition , however I still put a question mark next to it .

Wow okay , took me longer at Burger King .
All the dates you specified is exactly what I kind of guesstimated using Murray's third edition , and you guys here . However I did not know the approximate year the 800, 000 serial numbered rifle would date .
The only lever boss code I have written down is the 800,000 serial EG in 300 Savage. The lever boss code is 3E . I can get the other lever boss codes for the rifles in the above post by Monday or Tuesday of next week for your records .
You didn't need any of the other post-World war II lever boss codes ?

I used years based on serial number ranges. Rifles weren't produced in serial number order, and any given rifle might be months later than other rifles in that same range. So if you have lever date codes, it's best to go with those. Most will probably match up with the years I gave you - but you might have a couple that are off. We always appreciate more data if you want to share date codes when you get a chance.

Sorry I almost forgot to mention that the 645k rifle and the 835k rifle both have the color case hardened rotors .

There's only 500'ish rifles made in the 800,000 range, so that one's a bit special - even though they seem to be identical to other rifles made at the same time. If you ever see a difference on it, let us know!

Hello All! Awesome thread; tons of knowledge. I could use some help. My Dad’s Savage: serial number C3890XX .308 24 inch octagon barrel checkered grip & forearm top tang safety removable magazine/clip with push button on side of receiver Two questions: 1). I can’t find the model # anywhere on the gun (did not take apart) thinking it is a 99C or 99DL..... any idea? 2). Any insights/knowledge into the octagon barrel..... limited edition in 1977, perhaps? Thank you!

Thank you! Welcome to the campfire! Your dad's rifle is one of a small set of uncatalogued 99C rifles that were made with leftover octagon barrels from the 75th Anniversary Model 1895 rifles. By serial number, your rifle dates to February, 1977. Not many of them around.

Just curious..... is the model most likely metal-stamped somewhere on it, if disassembled?

Just curious..... is the model most likely metal-stamped somewhere on it, if disassembled? No.. the majority of Savage 1895/1899/99 models weren't stamped with the model name. It has to be deduced by the features usually. Sometimes they were, often they weren't. If yours was, it would probably be in the barrel address. But since the barrel came from another model, it probably doesn't say 99C in it.

Needing help determining age. Of a 99 Savage 303
Straight grip, 26"round barrel, schnabel, serial # 2243xx. Anyone know the DOB? Also trying to find out what is the correct front sight. The one in this gun looks like a replacement.
Thanks
