Recently picked up a model 99F 300 Savage,Top Tang Safety Factory Drilled for scope mounts Serial # 1106346 in really nice condition, can anyone tell me what year it was made?
Is there any letter in front of the number?
1951 or later. http://www.savage99.com/savage99_dates.htm
No letter in front of the Serial #
See the link I posted, at the bottom there is a lever boss letter code tgat will tell the exact year. I believe savage did not use serials until 1968.
Savage did use serial numbers from the very beginning, but check the front of the lever boss--the part hanging down that the lever attaches to, and it should have two numbers followed by a letter. Let us know what the letter is and should be able to pin down the year of manufacture for you.
It was made in 1965.
There ya' go. Mad dog is the man.Quote:
