But the book and the serial number says it was made in 1946 which eliminates about 4 of those versions. Your description is not complete enough and you almost have to have the book in hand and do a process of elimination to determine exactly which model you have out of the 18+ different versions (made before your gun). With that book and by observing the features of the gun you can determine exactly what it is. Thank you again.īrodougie: There is a book on the Savage 99 by Murray.

I am slightly confused how my serial number could be 1,037,761 and have a boss code 'N'.

I did my best at reading the Boss Code and I am fairly certain that it reads 12N which would make it a 1962, but I read in some of the posts that the serial numbers stop at 1,000,000. When my father passed he left me his Savage 99E.243 lever action. I wanted to say thank you for sharing all of your knowledge and helping me figure out what a boss code is and what it means. Hello Everybody, I came across your site while trying to research my rifle. You'd have to give me more than that for mine even though I have quite a bit less than that in the gun (bought off co-worker 15 years ago). Others might have more knowledge about value but the bottom has to be at least $500. These are unique looking, unique operationally, and pretty accurate and handy guns. With a scope I think it would match almost any 308 for hunting.
I don't hunt but a lot of former owners did and I bet this would make an excellent woods gun. These guns are well worth keeping and shooing. It got him a job which he eventually parlayed into the biggest gun manufacturing company in the USA in a few decades. He actually turned a Model 99 into a semi-auto and tried to hawk it to gun companies. In fact Ruger, the man, was infatuated with the Savage 99 in his youth and lifted the mag design for his 10/22 in the 1950's. The magazine is probably the most unique part of the gun (rotating mag like a Ruger 10/22 mag). I think it probably is more accurate than similar Winchester lever guns of the same period.
While developing loads with a chronograph and only interested in getting factory velocities and not even watching the target while shooting, I was amazed at the accuracy after walking down to the target to retrieve it. My 99EG is very accurate with open sights. Every time I take mine to the range someone will ask if I want to sell it. I don't think there is much collector interest in these guns, but I don't really know. To determine exactly what you have, you'd have to cross reference features from a book like the D.P.Murray book 'The 99: A History of the Savage Model 99 Rifle'. The highest S/N was supposedly 1,000,000. The Model 99E was made from 1960 to 1984. Shooters want good guns but will not pay that kind of money. Original excellent condition guns is what they want. A refinished gun to collectors is worth much much less. I would not give mine up for anything but if I HAD to I would think a collector might pay $500 or more.īut it all depends on condition to a collector. The amazing thing to me is how much more accurate it is than my Winchester lever guns. I have one from the 1950's that is aobut 90% that I shoot my reloads from.
Savage, Marlin, Winchester! Dates of manufacture for the following rifles. A guy I know has a Savage Model 99 in.243 that on the top of the barrel says 'Model 99A' but stamped back by the receiver it say '99E. All of the popular Savage cartridges are. Their respective characteristics and a date of manufacture reference based on serial number. Some like-new in the box versions fetch twice what other excellent, nice, clean example get. Peteelliot To a shooter it's a $100 gun (too old and in a funny caliber for which ammo is almost non-existent!) but to a collect it all depends on condition.
