Hello, I have a savage takedown that is not marked with the 99 sav on top of the receiver in front of the bolt behind the sight where one would normally drill the holes for a front scope mount. It is a full threaded takedown that looks like a model G with a perchbelly stock. I cannot find Model 1899 anywhere either.Is it a mistake by the factory or was this common to not have a model designation? Also the rifle has two holes about 6 cm apart on the side for a scope mount. Where could I find a side mount so I do not have to drill more holes in the rifle, especially where this lack of normal stamping is at. Thanks.
