Scoping a Savage 99? Login/Join

The title pretty much says it all. Trying to scope a .243. Maximum objective is 40mm, and I need at least 4" of eye relief.

Thanks in advance.

is the 99 already drilled and tapped?

leupold or redfield (basically the same) mount and rings, and a nice vintage Weaver should do you well

Just curious - is your Savage 99 the version with the removeable magazines? Saw it on American Rifleman, I think. Fascinating rifle. How does it shoot?




Phone's ringing, Dude.

Here is my Savage 99F in 308. Hopefully the pic can give you some ideas.


Thanks,

Thanks for the replies, gents. It is drilled and tapped. No on the removable mag.

My ‘smith is wanting to put a rail on top so we can move the scope back. I’m not sold on that idea.
