Then they went back to undrilled.. then finally switched for good around 750,5xx. Scope looks good on it. “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”.

I know there are better scope options out there that can be mounted but sometimes I want to use the exact setup my grandfather and his buddies used in back in the day. Caveat: I don’t take it too far though. I do have the best binoculars money can buy strapped to my chest. 😎 "...aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one." - Paul to the church in Thessalonica.

Will get out to the range and zero it in if the wind ever dies down. May have to hunt elk with it this season. wyo1895 With Savage never say never.

The ones I usually see (pictures of) the camera angle is such that the receiver ring is covered. Asking has not produced any confirmations, at least any that was really interested in. Thanks.

I can see it to the side of the scope mount here, so it's factory drilled. No SAVAGE MODEL 99 stamp beside the scope mount here, so this wasn't factory drilled. “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”.

It came to me with a scope mounted so I presume it was factory d&t. I don't have the ser number handy. Shameless plug, I would trade the F towards the right EG.
