The included factory letter states that rifles in the 800,000 serial number range like this example, are rare. The rifle was shipped from the factory on November 12, 1953. Equipped with a beaded blade front sight mounted on on a ramp and an elevator adjustable rear sight with the receiver tang tapped for sight mounting. Receiver ring marked "SAVAGE/MODEL 99". Rotary magazine, cartridge counter and cocking pin indicator. Mounted on a nicely figured pistol grip stock and Schnabel style forearm with a steel serrated buttplate. The following items are with the rifle: one box of Savage .250-3000 Savage cartridges and 1954 Savage catalog.

Excellent plus. The rifle retains 99% plus original blue finish with only the slightest handling marks. The lever retains 99% plus original case colors. The wood is excellent with a few minor handling marks. The checkering is crisp overall. Mechanically excellent.
