Have bought a 99E in .308 from a friend. He got it from his father in law as a gift long ago. Ser# 10141xx. Had a Savage 3-8x scope on it with tip overs. Scope zoom is a little sloppy, so I changed it with a Weaver C4xW wide-view that I've always liked. He thought it was made around mid 60's. Does anyone have an idea. It has a 12M in a circle near the lever pivot. Thanks and I'm enjoying reading here as a newbie. Also any recommendations on a good 99 gunsmith in upstate NY for any future work needs ? I live near Fort Drum, NY. Thanks
