That would be a Savage 99F, barrel should actually be 22". This serial number range is a bit disputed, some would call it a model 1899A rather than 99A or 99B. In your opinion, how big and what kind of (if any) difference in quality exists between the pre and post 1961 Savage 99s? Is it an older rifle that was purchased in 1921? Next step is to clean it up and put some rounds through it! Order without liberty and liberty without order are equally destructive. Owe you a cup of campfire coffee! Welcome to the site. Yeah, don't know what the numbers mean on the lever.
