Hello all. My first post here. I've recently been bitten by the Savage bug and have recently bought two Savages. My first one in a .300 Savage is a 99 R model. It was easy to figure out what model it was by the forearm.

This second one I bought the other day has me stumped. It is a 1899 model in a .303 Savage with a serial number of 277XXX. I've done hours of searching and the only thing I have came up with is its a 1925 carbine but can't figure out what model.
One thing I have noticed is that the bottom of the barrel is stamped with "OFF" and an arrow for removal but the forearm is not for a takedown model. The forearm does have matching numbers. Also where the forearm meets the receiver there are notches on top that seem to be there so it will fit a thicker barrel. I tried to unscrew the barrel but it didn't move so I left well enough alone. It seems to have a 20" barrel if I'm measuring it correctly.
There is no saddle ring on the side and I can't see any marks where one may have been.
This gun has made it without being tapped for a scope but unfortunately they cut the butt stock way down, so I've been searching for a replacement stock. Any help as to what I need to look for and what would fit to replace it would be appreciated.

I have not been able to shoot the .303 yet, still waiting on mail order ammo. I've taken the scope off and looking to put a peep sight on it.
Thanks for any help and info you may have as to what it is.
