I would like to find out what model 99 I have and when was it made. the boss code is hard to make out the rifle has a 22 inch barrel, gold trigger, montecarlo stock and jeweled finish bolt.
Serial Number 10229xx

Thank you,
Sergio

1961 model DL.

Gosh that was quick thank you.

What cal?

It's in 243 Win and incredibly accurate at 100 yards with factory ammo. I needed to figure out the model because I suspect I may need new extractor. It fires and extracts all factory ammo except for Federal ammo but when I removed the extractor it appeared fine.

It's like the old joke- "Doc, it hurts when I do this." Doctor: "Don't do that."

If the only thing that didn't extract was some Federal stuff, well, I wouldn't bother with Federal stuff!

Replacing an extractor is no fun! Lots of fitting required.

Listen to the advice above.

I have new ones to sell but always want the buyer to understand the challenge.

Since you have the buttstock off, you can see the date code is also stamped on the left side of the receiver above the lever, left of the "A". Bit small, but looks like an M (1961) to me, which matches the serial number.

Sergio, let me know if you want to sell that please. I'm a fan of the DL.

Hi Fireball2 I just sold a 99 in 250 Savage and I'm regretting it, I'm keeping this one it's an amazing accurate rifle.
Thanks
Sergio
