Both of mine do great in low light, though they do not gather light as a scope does, and they are most definitely close range optics. But those are the shots I choose to take anyway at this stage of my life as a hunter. I am no longer a "long range" hunter (meaning 200+yrds- LOL).

What is the effective range of the red dot sight? I imagine light conditions may bring quite a variance?


I am no longer accepting orders for the Lightfoot scope mount.

Gents,

This is exactly what to do. I have a 99e. I want to put a longer forearm on in with the Schnabel. I also want to do it in nutmeg laminate. What are your suggestions on getting this done?

I have the same brush gun I bought several years ago here on the 'fire. It had a barrel obstruction and was shortened to I believe 17 1/4" The 35 Winchester can do what you ask and if the stock is shortened to the shortest LOP you can utilize you will have a great gun for the treed bear. Use a cast WFN sort of a 250 gr or more. Lots of energy transfer will happen. Be Well, Rustyzipper.

I'm so bored I bought another gun today after I said I wasn't going to buy anymore.

Now I have to sell one.

It never ends....

If a guy wants to spiff up a 99 "his way" want have a hunter, let it be a 99E that he does it with. grin

Stocks swap easily. Pick up that nutmeg laminate, let us know how the fit is, and have fun.

Or you could buy a Winchester 99 Carbine in 308, that comes with a 19" barrel. GW

My bear gun is a Marlin 1895GS in .45-70. Though around here the longest shot someone is going to get is about 75 yards. 18.5" barrel, pretty handy rifle. You can pick them up used cheaper than you could get a shooter 99 in the calibers mentioned.

Many 99s suffer from over aggressive muzzle end cleaning. Losing a few inches on one often helps accuracy.
I sold trappers to someone in Texas and someone in Alaska. They are handy.
Just put a new front site on it, a peep, and hunt it.
The Winchester 94s with the forearm caps make slick trapper guns too. Lose the end barrel band and go to peeps again.
