I have a 99f, 1955. Great deer rifle. Had original knock off mounts, Weaver k5. Over time the scope sits cockeyed... not the bases, something in the rings, latching , etc. way off. Bent over time. Never did like arrangement. Threw bases and rings in garbage. Gun looks superb without, but alas, 74 year old eyes. #1. Where do I get a 1 piece steel base, grooved for rings? #2. Suggestion for scope upgrade, preferably 4x, small.....

Lightfoot , a forum member and a artist in metal makes one that uses the front sight dovetail and the tang screws. A piece of art. Contact him , you wont be disappointed .
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 ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

Leupold makes a 1 piece mount for Savage 99's that were factory d&t. Got them on a couple of mine. Or watch ebay for old Redfield 1 piece bases.. about 6 of one, half a dozen of the other in my book. But the Redfields are vintage.
A Leupold looks good, if you don't want a lot of magnifiacation a 1.5-4x20mm Freedom, or a fixed 4x.
“ The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”. All models and variations of 1895’s, 1899’s and 99’s covered. Also dates, checkering, engraving.. Find at www.savagelevers.com
