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!!!

The Savage 99 Tasco mounts I've seen use Weaver rings. 3 just sold on ebay dirt cheap.

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