I love the Lyman Alaskans, but a 1" Weaver with a post reticle is very nice as well. Replace the forearm on this, and you have your 99G with Lyman Alaskan. “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”. All models and variations of 1895’s, 1899’s and 99’s covered. Also dates, checkering, engraving.. Find at www.savagelevers.com

I have three of them. All with Leupold Mountaineer scopes.

I also like G & H mounts on rifles that have already tapped for them. In a 1" scope I like Weaver K2.5 and V4.5 with post and crosshair reticle or 3 minute LEE dot. All of my custom .22 rimfire sporters have Alaskans with crosshair and LEE dot. For the serious hunter, a Leupold Alaskan makes more sense from the standpoint of more modern optics and no worries about fogging.

Drew sold me the mounts and Lightfoot sold me the scope. Drew was their, he saw the whole thing. The point is not that I am some kind of talented sniper because I am not. The point is you don't need a 14x-50mm scope and a belted magnum to kill at long range. Just sayin... Ironic thing is that I was hunting with a Rem 700 in 25-06 and a 3x9-40 and shot a goat at less than half the distance that Randy did. The shot he made with the 300 was a pretty good distance. I don't recall if we had a range finder or if we paced it off, but after it went down, it was a LONG walk, over a deep ravine to get to the goat. 300 yards easily and windy for sure. Andrew
