No, the receiver of my rifle is not drilled or tapped. About a year ago I had a chance to purchase a 99 250 in similar condition but it had been drilled and tapped and had a weaver scope. This was not factory tapped, the model 99 stamp on top of the receiver was covered, which I thought should decrease value of the gun. But the price was $1450 firm. I'm glad I was patient and got mine for several hundred less.
By the way, what year did Savage start to factory drill/tap the rifles? I know, it's probably in the book 😀
