I like the Redfield widefield, that's what I have on my 1950 99 R in 250-3000. The R is kinda big and I think the widefield looks good on that rifle. I think my dad bought the scope new in 1968, so that would make it period correct for a 99 C. Can't go wrong with a Leupold. I put a big Leupold, 50mm bell on my 1951 R in 300. It looks kinda silly, but I was setting the rifle up for late evening pig hunting, trying to gather as much light as possible and squeeze the last couple minutes out of the day, Joe.
