I just sold a 1958 " F ' in 308 with exactly the same hole placement. I looked all over but could not find a mount and thought it was a home made job. Why would someone do this to a rifle when it is factory drilled and weaver makes a #119 and 114 pivot mount. If I ever find out I"ll let you know. I havn"t been on the forum for awhile but will try a little more often Bob

But anyways, hopefully someone can chime in with the answer. Thanks, Mike... All said, the Savage 99 is a genius of a rifle.

Perhaps they discovered as I did that you can't use the iron sights with the Weaver pivot mounts. I don't see the point in the pivot mounts , you pivot the scope to the side and the bases are still in the way of seeing the irons. Mike Always talk to the old guys , they know stuff. Jerry Miculek
