Yep, should be 1962, third style. 20” barrel, non-walnut stock with no side panels, lever safety, no cartridge counter.

Good hunting rifles.

I just picked up a savage 99 in 300 savage. These are fairly new to me except for the fact that my grandfather had one. I honestly can’t tell if this one has ever been shot. It is in perfect condition. Out of curiosity I was hoping for a little help with the year and\or model. The serial number is 4163xx. I know the lever boss codes started later but there is a 3 where the lever boss code would be. Schnable forend. Steel butt plate. Made in Utica ny. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It’s a 99EG made in 1946.
Sounds like a beauty! Enjoy it.

Wow. Thank you very much. I will post some pictures this evening. Are there any differences in a rifle manufactured during the war. I.e. materials. Options. Value.

Also, can you still get a letter from the savage historian?

A letter is $65 now and from that time period I think you will just get a ship date and no other info.

Forearm attached with a screw or a latch? A screw is an EG, a latch would be a takedown 99G.

Probably an EG.

I hope the picture links work. It is not a takedown. The peep sight is a marbles put on by PO. I have the original screws.

Would it be normal to have slightly different serial numbers? The butt plate and stock are 4171xx.

Not normal, but it does happen. I have a 1919 250-3000 Rifle that I got from 99guy. He sent away for letters from the receiver# and butt stock#. The receiver serial letter had all of the normal info. The butt stock serial said, "No rifle with that serial number ever left the factory". So, the consensus was the butt stock was original to the rifle. I forget how far off the numbers are, maybe Randy remembers. But, the larger the spread, the less likely they match. Your numbers are off by about 800, I would think that is close enough to be possible. Letters are getting expensive enough that it kind of makes the rifle have to be special to get 2 letters. Yours is definitely in nice shape, but, $130 just to get a maybe, or a no, would be your call if it is worth it.

Most likely factory IMO. Fit to finish looks solid. Little bit of an edge showing on the lower tang, but I think still factory

If the butt stock # doesn't letter means it didn't leave the factory on another receiver, therefore it wasn't taken off another gun by Bubba and fitted to yours.

That close and I’d say it’s almost surely factory. What’s the odds of somebody finding a buttstock that close later on?

This gun was made while Savage was swamped with wartime production. They were likely hitting the spare parts bins to assemble any sporting arm they could because they couldn’t spare time to make new parts.

Remember the 99PE I have that had the wrong buttstock on it but I checked another rifle I had bought from Don's brother and it had the correct number buttstock for the PE on it? LONG ODDS!

Hi,

I just picked up a 99cd Series A in 308 Serial # C8551XX . Was this made in 1951? The butt stock has a repaired crack and needs to be refinished but it is in pretty good condition overall and I couldn't pass on it at my local gun shop for $325.
