OP lovemy99 Campfire Outfitter Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 8,225 Snohomish, WA	okay... so not sure why I am bringing this down upon myself but I am going to start collecting information on these to see if we can draw any firm conclusions...so, if you have one, please PM me with the follow info: (I will never share the entire serial, that said, provide what ever you are comfortable with) And just provide what you can or are willing to, the first three being most important. Serial number Caliber Barrel length Barrel address (expect style 8 but Big or small and dashes or no) Anything stamped on front of receiver? Fluted stock? Front sight rear sight Anything on the Lever boss? Please let me know if anything else is out of the ordinary such as non-matching serial numbers Andrew

Mine is not, just checked. 22" barrel. Just sayin "You cannot invade mainland America.

Originally Posted by Calhoun I'm noticing that most off these R/T rifles are coming out as late 1945 or 1946 rifles by serial number. And I'm noticing the 1946 price list on page 196 of Kimmel's book lists only EG's and R's. Even has price corrections for both models, which means somebody was selling something. And lowest postwar 99R style was 1949/1950. And highest prewar 99R style was 415,xxx - 1941? I don't think we should be calling them 99RT's. “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”.

Seems to be quite a lot of variability in them. "You cannot invade mainland America.

Few folks to hit up for details. http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/6009404/R_T_Range_Report#Post6009404 Every one I'm seeing looks like mid 1945 into 1946 from the serial numbers. These are mixed in with EG's from the same time period, no other models produced in any significant numbers during that timeframe that I can remember. “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”.

One interesting thing that I realize now... the one that I owned with serial 445xxx had a non matching serial on the forearm that was 432xxx... so all of there recorded could be considered to be in the 430-432,xxx range ... I do highly doubt that the one that I owned was swapped much later but it could have been... I would more likely guess it was a left over part at the factory as the gun condition in terms of bluing/case color/wood finish were all very good... Andrew

The front sight has a red bead like the "T" and it has the standard savage rear sight. Don
