I'll be here more since I got a 99F. I'm planning on using for my hunts this year, trying to go back to what I used when I first started hunting.

New guy here. I was told y'all are the go-to guys for answers about Savage 99's. I inherited this old gun, it says Savage .303 on the barrel and has a brass counter on the side. Barrel isn't round, more like a pentagon or octagon, or whatever you call it. Someone went and had it all engraved up with deers and leaves and what look like grape vines- pretty much covered the whole gun. Pretty cool. It also has a lot of checkering all around the grip and all over the front piece of wood. Can anyone tell me when it was made and what it's worth?
I have a Leupold 4-12x I plan on mounting as my eyes are getting pretty bad. What's a good mount? I have a box of odds and ends Weavers and can probably cobble something together. Do I need a drill press to drill the mounting holes? I have a good old DeWalt cordless drill I am pretty handy with.
What's a good finish for the stock? I already got her down to bare wood with 60-grit. The metal is next. Will 60-grit be too coarse for the engraving, or will it kinda enhance it. Guess I'll start on one side and see what it looks like. Good idea?
I would appreciate any and all comments. Not tech savvy, but I have some Polaroids I can mail to the internet guy if someone would share his address.
