Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Stith mount set up 3/4

Thought I had a 3/4 size stith mount set up for a 99, well I do but for the rear ring that sits inside the tang mount. What I thought was the ring is for a 7/8 size, I'd be happy to trade it for a 3\4 one or purchase a 3/4 one! Already checked with Lightfoot and missedbycracky. So check out the back of the work bench, in the box back in a conner. I know someone must have one somewhere! Thanks John

Which style- windage adjustable or fixed?

Adjustable, but if one had a fixed, I'd swap for it if they had the 3/4 ring with it!

I might have a 3/4 front tube. Give me a bit of time to go looking.

Thanks, i have a tube, realy just need the rear ring!

I'm pretty sure I have one. I'll check later.

If anyone has a fixed 3/4 tang piece and ring I'd trade them a adjustable tang piece and a 7/8 ring. For it! I already have a 7/8 set up on my 22HP!

A Big Thanks to Gene B, worked out a trade!

I was not able to help in this case, but for future reference I have a lot of front tubes in 3/4, 7/8 and 1", but only odds and ends of rear stuff for the 99. I also have some complete sets for Winchester model 70, along with a bushel of odds and ends for various other rifles.

Pretty much out of Stith stuff too. Just some odds and ends.

I can't rember the last time I saw any Stith stuff at a gun show. I also have the MD 70 mount, and parts! My buddys and I talked on the way home from the gun show yesterday, that most of the good old stuff seems to be gone from the shows. Now just old junk left!

Pretty sweet M99 box.

Yeah , I bought 4 complete Stith 99 setups in the box from a guy at a show years ago .

I have at least a box for each type but have a lot more sets without boxes. I bought a couple of just boxes a couple years ago and was pleased about it.

found one NIB also. it's for 7/8". box says for an Alaskan.

notes on the Savage 99

the mount and screws

Wow, nice shape.

Most of the good old stuff now winds up on eBay

My Very 1st 99, a saddlering Carbine, I put a 3/4 Sitith set up on it, have had 6-7 ,7-8 set ups and a couple of 1" ones! They tended to work well, and have taken game with them!

kenster, it appears to have never been mounted on a rifle

Who many of you have scopes for all your mounts?

I do ( I have way too many old scopes ) but they aren't all installed.

Same here. I've always had a problem passing on an old Weaver with condition. I rounded them all up and put them in a data base a few years back. I was at a little over 100 and have added a few since then. By the time I decide to start selling no one will want them.

In earlier days those Weaver 2.5x1" and Redfield 2 3/4x were on all the .22s I plinked with. Now it's 4x16's and 6x24's off the bench.

Oh I'm sure I'll want them. lol. I'm so addicted to these old things. I have a bunch of cardboard mailing tubes with the plastic end caps. Wrap them in packaging foam, put a desiccant pack in and label the outside. Stores them pretty well. Last count I had 73. I swap them around on different guns pretty frequently. Yes, I have no life.

I have way more scopes than mounts. Every time I spend a bunch on a vintage scope, the very next auction I see one for half the price, so I buy it to. My version of dollar cost averaging.

Pix of my Savage Model 99H Carbine c. 1938 emphasizing fasteners in Weaver/Stith scope setup. Taking advantage of the tang mount holes as securing the aft base as displacing the barrel aft sight dovetail forward. The scope is a Weaver and I'm guessing early postwar vintage. (I'd have preferred Lyman Alaskan!) An entirety, a neat package.

Hopefully 'visual' informative re Stith informative!

Best!
