savage has changed a lot, I went to there web site, looked under customer service, then under look up date of manufacture & typed in your serial #, the only info that i got was that they said that they didn't service models before serial # f498821. here is the link.

I believe your Savage 99 was made in either 1959 0r 1960.

Serials did not strictly run sequentially. Yours was built after 1951.
