OP 10pointer Campfire Regular 1 Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 690 Jarrell, Texas	Wanted to get my old Savage 99 back in the woods but my eyes just don't work like they used to. Anyhow found that lightfoot made a scope mount that would not need any drilling and tapping. I purchased one and got her all rigged up. Have taken the gun on numerous trips this season without any success. Yesterday, finally a doe crept thru my little property (15 acres). The gun, the mount and the hunter performed flawlessly. I would like to thank Lightfoot for manufacturing a great little product. hope the picture loads Attached Images cropped333.jpg (71.21 KB, 272 downloads)

So, don't know if you can see it or not, I'm holding a thumb up. This afternoon might be my last chance at a buck with my 303 F. Last edited by JoeMartin; 12/14/19.

DRT meat in the pot and no need to horse around boiling antlers. My other auto is a .45 The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
