Someone asked me what the differences are between the older BM-99 and the newer 841 bases.

The BM-99 is a steel base that has a nicely polished blued finish.

The 841 is an alloy base that has a matte dark gray, not quite black, finish.

The BM-99 base is aesthetically more pleasing, more in sync with a blued and walnut rifles, and is (IMO) the best looking base for use with Weaver-style rings on a 99.

Any chance for a picture of one?
I clearly remember a tasco one piece with pins sticking up the rings would slide down on? A weaver style ring would be prefurable.


What you have done is not nearly as important as how you have done it!!!

A 14 and a 19 weaver base and Burris signature Zee rings sure look nice
