Great tread. I have only one Savage 99C in .243 s/n B567xxx. Like to know the year it was made. I can not believe how accurate this rifle is . Blue box Federal ammo shot a little less than a inch at 100 yards. I think it shoots as well as my Remington heavy barrel varmint rifle. Thank you

What year of manufacture? SN is A2344**. 99M tang safety. Impressed checkering. Factory D&T. 22" barrel, gold trigger. Aluminum butt plate. Thanks for the help. I don't think you got an answer... mid-1969.

Choppy, it's a late 1962 or early 1963. Check the date code to see if it's a N or a P. Also, it's a 99DL.

"B" is 1950, 99EG. You're going to need some more scope on that to wring out the accuracy that Savage is capable of.

Dad bought it new in 1950 in Tucumcari New Mexico and he called it an E. He has taken many a Prong Horn (Antelope) and Coyotes with it.

No, it's not an E. The earlier E was a sweet rifle, very desirable, and the later E was an economy model with cost cutting measures enacted in it's production. Yours was Savage's bread and butter gun in 300. BUT, that scope is outrageous I gotta say!! Most guys opt for a little Leupold 2-7 or 1.75-6, with many going the route of classic setups using Stith mounts and vintage glass. That rifle NEEDS a properly scaled optic, or none at all to be fully appreciated. Enjoy your weapon and please feel welcome.

Wolfgang, the 99EG was introduced in 1935 as an uncheckered model. Around 1938 they started checkering the stock and the model continued to be produced in high numbers until 1959. The sling studs on your rifle were added after it left the factory, and it was drilled and tapped for the scope after it left the factory.
Definitely an interesting setup! What's that scope?

Welcome to the campfire! Thanks for the welcome. The scope is a cheapie, a Barska 6-24x60ir. It�s what he put on it sometime early 2010 just before he passed away in Jan. 2011. We had planned on making a Deer hunt that year.
