Very nice, David. Why does the one screw look like it's way undersized? Is that hole drilled oblong to allow some adjustment, same as the front two?

Yes, I do that on purpose to allow for the machining differences in the respective guns. The rear tang screw has no slop though to prevent the mount from sliding on the gun. Thanks David! Those engraved rings match up pretty well I think.

Really Outstanding union of form, and function! The aesthetic details make all the difference, perfect compliment to your K! Griffin and Howe would have patented this one, (..if they had thought of it first)

Looks nice wyo1895. Matches the K's engraving, very tasteful. Like the added engraving to the sides of the mount. Good job Lightfoot.

My favorite scope of all time

They just look "right" on 99's

David,
If you ever see the 4 screw Redfield engraved rings, pick them up! They are very classic looking and of high-quality.
I found a few sets while looking through boxes of scope rings at gun shops. You can find them on eBay but they get very expensive. Often $200.

Just when i thought i was done buying gun stuff! Excellent combination of two artists! Make that three. Has the engraver's info been posted?. I have a birthday coming up and momma needs ideas!

Thanks for the comments guys. Those engraved Redfield rings sound really cool. Unfortunately the engraving on top of the bases is a little hard to see with the scope mounted. Bill Blair did the engraving. I'll get his info tomorrow.

Makes me wish I had an engraved 99 to put one on. That looks awesome.

Just put an engraved base on one of your rifles till you get an engraved 99 and then switch the base.

I might have him do the Noske side mount on my K, including side plate, slide off mount, and rings. Do you blue before or after the engraving?
