Does anyone know which year Savage started chambering the model99 in .308 Winchester ? Thanks

Late 1950s, not sure about the exact date.

According to info in Murray's book, 1957

There's a guy, here, who posted a list of model by date. Says the 'F's' were born in 1954. A very good year to be born. snicker.

From the research I’ve done, my 99F was born in 1956. So it must have been before that. 1954 sounds about right.

took a Savage 99 in 308 to the range a few days ago. It was ridiculously accurate with 1980s era 308.
