Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Filling a need...

After communicating with Lightfoot, I've come to the conclusion that I will pick up where he leaves off with the Lightfoot Mount. With my shop setup I can duplicate his invention, and continue with his fine contribution to the world of Savage 99's.

First order of business: build a few to guarantee the fit and quality of what has come to be assumed with Mike's product. That may take a little time, there's always bugs to be worked out - don't expect any next week. Announcements will appear as progress is made and mounts become available. Pricing will, hopefully, remain on par with Mike's endeavors. Vagaries in material costs will of course drive that, but rest assured I'm doing this for much the same reasons Mike did - to provide a service, challenge my intellect/skills, and make a couple bucks, in about that order.

I'm open to ideas. One that comes to mind is perhaps a zircon-encrusted version, with gold inlays of deer, elk, and nude women (just the thing for that chrome plated 99 your weird Uncle Rathbone had in the back of his closet since 1963).

Anyway, let's see what happens!

Great news!

Good for you Gary, these mounts have been proven in my part of the country.

Good Deal Gary!

Glad to hear the mounts will continue to be produced.

Good luck 👍

Good show!

PS - sign me up for one of the nudie bases

Which do you want, Marylin Monroe or me?

Glad you decided to do it Gary. Great news!!

This is FANTASTIC!

Ahhhhh.......

Great news Gary and thanks for picking up the torch. Put me down for one of those nudes, maybe riding an Elk?
Just thinking out loud. Thanks again and good luck!

Nice effort Gary, everybody benefits! You gotta keep calling it the "Lightfoot Mount" right? So Mike keeps getting the royalty checks!

Thats great ,will keep you out of the beer joints !!!!

If there's going to new Lightfoot-gnoahhh mounts...


Somebody is going to finally have to tell me how to properly pronounce gnoahhh.

gnoahhh...yeah, me too. It's "no-ah' in my mind which means nothing.
gnoahhh, glad you are doing this! I have been meaning to get one for a long time but it never happens. That'll change.

It's "no-ahh", a variation of my hashing nickname back in the day. When I first stepped into Internet-land a gazillion years ago I tried using it for my email address but it was already taken, so instead of tacking on a number behind it I simply tacked on a silent letter on the front, and so it has remained. "And a Happy Gnu Year to you!"

Ah rats-------There goes the increased value of my two Lightfoot mounts Just kidding!!!! Glad yer picking up the manufacturing Gary-Yer a gentleman and a scholar! Not necessarily in that order When Colt started to produce Pythons again alot of pundits said the value of all the older Pythons would plumet. Was wondering about it as I have some--so far it hasn't happened Anyway high-fives to ya Gary. I was told by another member 'gnoahhh' was pronounced 'Noah' as in the Biblical Noah. .

Was always torn about whether it was Noah, or gonads without the d.

Can't think of a better person to pick up where Mike left off. The new Glightfoothh mount.

You owe me a new keyboard..
