Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Series A date of manufacture and info.

G'day all,

I have a "Savage 99 Series A" .308 that does not have a LBC so I am guessing 1970's or later. Its Serial No is B621278.

It has a nice case hardened lever and shoots very very well with a real nice trigger. Its in bits at the moment with the internals on the stock getting a good coat of sealant. I am also waiting on a XS ghost ring for the rear weaver base and a dovetail block for the rear sight. I will post some pics when its up - its no collectable (rubber recoil pad and late model) but it will make a very nice practical 100m (or yard) bush hunting tool.

Any help on the manufacture date and any overall info on these later "Series A" models would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance....

Cheers.

A Kiwi !!
G'day mate.
