You've got an old Weaver scope there, or one made by them for a reseller like Sears, Gambles, etc. I kind of like them myself and think they just look right on these guns.

The scope mounts & base are the way they are, for the purpose of putting the line of sight and bore axis on an intersecting planes. It looks odd only because the 99 receiver curves downward at the rear.
