Hello all newbie to the forum here.
I've inherited a .300 Savage model 99 from my 90 year old uncle. He's finally come to the conclusion that his hunting days are over and gave me all his rifles. From what I've researched it's a 1949 vintage. He bought it used for $40-60 plus years ago from "some old guy" he worked with. It had no rear sight so he just put it away and never got back to it. It had been lightly used earlier in its life but not at all for the last 6 decades. I would rate its condition a solid 9, however research also showed it's a very common model and not super valuable.
Being almost as old as the rifle with the eyes that go with it I would like to find a no drill scope mount for it just because it's too nice to d&t. What would be available for this rifle that would be less costly than a Stith mount? I really don't want to pay half the rifles value for just a mount. Thanks in advance for any help and advice. - Bill
