Saw one at a little local shop today. Post-million serial number, pistol grip, light colored stock with pressed checkering, no counter window, either a steel or aluminum rotor, chambered in 300 Savage, and the old style side lever safety. Is that enough info for one of you knowledgeable collectors to identify model?

Yep. Post-1960 model 99E, probably 1966 to 1974 based on the checkering style.

Thanks!
I didn't ask the price, wasn't really interested in it, already have a 99F in 300 that's in better condition. It had a crack in the "cheek" of the buttstock, loose forend, and looked like it had been re-blued.

Yeah... time to just walk past that one unless it was very cheap and you wanted a project action.
