A friend of mine has a book on the Savage 99. He is very posessive of it, because it cost $35 for a paperback! using his book, I was able to date my rifle to 1956, by a combination of serial number range, which sights it has, and where the "Model 99" is located on the reciever.

Reloading books put the introduction of the .300 Savage at 1920.
