I bought a Model 99E (S/N 10812XX) 1964 manufacture if I read the chart correctly. Chambered in .243; with Savage marked scope rings and a Savage-Suwa, Japan, Model 0433, 4x33 Scope.
Would this have been a "factory special" package?

Picture time!
Here are a few pictures of my Model 99E. The serial number puts it as being made in 1964,

It was literally just a 99E in a box along with the scope and rings, you had to assemble when you got it. In 1964 they did sell the 99E, the rings and the scope - just not as a package/combination. So it all likely dates to 1964, and the 99E retailed for $102.50 that year.
Thanks for the info CalhounRR. I’ve been in the hospital sho I haven’t been checking here as often
