Guys,
I have a Savage 99 in .250-3000 that was made in 1926. It was my grandfather's gun. I want to rescope it so my daughter can take it hunting this year.
It currently is scoped with a Lyman Alaska. .875" tube OD.
It is drilled and tapped 2x behind the action and has a rear mount installed. The front of the scope is mounted oddly. The attachment is where the rear sight would be. The attachment bracket ties to the barrel with one screw. The other end of the bracket has 3 small screws from underneath that go into the front of the scope 'shroud.' The distance from back of rear mount to front of front mount is 11-1/4".
What are my options for bases?
Why rescope it?
The Stith/Alaskan setup is a ~$500+/- value assuming good condition. And it is a "no drill" scope mount solution for 99's that many seek.
If the Alaskan is good, go with it. Otherwise it can be refurbed back to new.
