    Can't give you a specific date, but the B prefix tells me it's likely going to be sometime in the mid-late 1970's. Savage started using the letter prefix in 1968 when the National Firearms Act of 1968 went into effect as a way to distinguish those guns made after the law from before the law, and they went in alphabetical sequence. They're only up to the letter G on the guns they're making today.
