I have done a couple of savage 99s and would add that anyplace on the action that has a hole can be filled with clay to keep the glass from seeping in and creating a mechanical bond. A 99 has holes and slots in the rear tang. I use the polymer clay from the craft store, the kind kids use to make beads. It only hardens in the oven so it stays soft and comes in really bright colors which makes it easy to clean up.
I also put a little paste wax on the finish of the wood around where Im working to help with squish clean up.
