I just finished mounting one Lightfoot's no drill scope mounts on my Grandfathers 1920's 1899 in 250/3000 cal. I topped it off with a 2-7 power Scorpion scope.
Since my eyes aren't very good anymore, I just can't see the rear sites on iron sites anymore. The last few years, this rifle stayed in the gun cabinet as I looked for a complete Stith scope set up. I hadn't looked for a year or so, so started to search again. I happened to see a picture of Lightfoot's mount and BINGO! New life for my Grandpa's old gun.
I can't wait to try this out and if it wasn't such a pain in the A, I'd send you an Elk steak or two from the Bull Elk that this gun will drop next year.
I'd recommend Lightfoot's mount to anybody.
Thanks for all your help Lightfoot.!!!!!

If guns kill people, does that mean I can blame misspelled words on my pencil?

Very nice. Looks light Mr. Lightfoot is carving his own personal a niche into the ongoing story of the 99! Years from now if people are still shooting and still shooting the 99 I am sure some will encounter his mounts and will be asking about them.
