Savage 99-300

When was this rifle discontinued? I had one as a young fellow back in the early 70's and should have kept it. A real nice lever action.

Originally the Model 1899 ("Model 99") was made with a rotary magazine.  This was finally dropped in 1984.  Production continued with the "clip magazine" which had been originally introduced in 1965, was dropped for awhile and then re-introduced in 1995.  I believe the last Model 77 was manufactured in 2000 but I could very easily be wrong on that.  Others here know exactly when the last 99's came off the line.  Lawdog
