![]() 308 in 1957 than there were in 1958, so 57 is a better chance: but I'd prefer to have a better grasp. Can anyone provide any more info based on the serial number? One person was VERY helpful when he identified that there were a LOT more 99 rifles made in. It was a number "17" for the inspector in front of it. Mine is serial 943,xxx and I can't tell if it was an "I" or a "J" in the lever code boss. The second issue is trying to get a better handle on my 99F. Did Savage release them/make them out of serial number sequence? How likely is it for a 699,xxx rifle to be made a year after a 701,000 rifle? Were the serial numbers connected to the caliber? I don't recall if he listed his caliber at all. ![]() ![]() My date code indicates a 1954, but has a serial number LOWER than his. The first is a couple of threads by someone who has a Savage 99EG with a serial number of 701,000 but he said it was a 1953 rifle. I have found a couple of threads on the internet that made me curious/nervous. 308 with a lever boss code that seems to be 1957, but could be a 1958 with a serial number that is 943,xxx. 300Savage that has a lever boss date code that corresponds to 1954, and a serial number that is 699,xxx. I HAVE looked at a LOT of threads and completely understand the lever-boss date code concept. I have a question about serial number orders and dates.
