Hi, I just joined the forum, and just bought my first Savage 99. It is an 1899 250-3000, made in 1917. To be 100 years old, it is in great condition. Looks original except for a Redhead recoil pad someone added years ago. It has a Redfield sight mounted on the receiver. I noticed that a member named Lightfoot makes a scope base that I would be interested in. Can't wait to shoot this rifle and see what it will do.
