I recently mounted one of the Redfield Revolution 2-7x scopes on an EG using Weaver bases. I had to use an extension ring on the front in order to move the scope back far enough to get proper eye relief. Like Rory I think the 33mm objective looks "right" on the Model 99.

I'm not ignorant to the fact of awesome classic firearms......but the recoil and instant gratification of touching the trigger and putting it in the 10 ring........

It'll be fine. I don't understand all this recoil talk about a 308. I must be a weirdo.

I have been looking for a NICE model 99 for some time......one that hasn't looked like it been thrown off a cliff, been beat over some rocks, completely without blueing etc.etc. But I have to say....if they are still in circulation.....they must still work! Mine ain't too "nice" by you standards, but at least it's not too beat up. Internally it's great. It's just rough enough on the outside to carry and not worry about it.

i have a post mil F (by about 60 units) in 308. sweet handling and deer killing machine. most folks complain about the recoil of the 308 in the F , but i just can't feel it. onelostsoul, we need pictures! pic of mine ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/medium/100933.jpg) What were you shooting? Myself, I can feel a major difference between a 150 and 180 in the 99F

i use 165's. though i sometimes run up a batch of 190's just because i bought a bucket full of them about 35 years ago.
maybe i just don't have sense enough to feel recoil from anything as uncomfortable. though i did have a 340 in 30-30 once that would make my nose bleed.
the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee
