I am not a 99 fan but I did just tuck a super clean 99G in 300 in the safe just because it was so clean and had never been drilled and tapped for a scope. If I can find a set of Stith mounts for it so I can scope it without drilling it I may even shoot it. Good luck finding a Stith mount I have been searching for a few years as I have several 99s and only a few are tapped for a scope and while I don’t care about some I do have a couple I do care about and don’t want to drill There was a guy a few years ago that was making copies of the Stith mount but not anymore sadly ï¿½Everything in excess!

The 38-55 my grandpa owned was supposed to go to us but dad had a falling out with him and no gun. I still want one of each. Love those guns.
