Very nice collection! I'm betting the 22 Hi Power and 358 are pretty rare. Any idea what 99 mine is? As in 99, 99A, etc....
What did the gun print on paper? I’m excited to follow this. Any ideas where you are going start with powder and charges?
From brief amateur reading it sounds like light bullets and light charges around 2750fps are producing the best groups.

ya might want to ask at www.savageshooters.com maybe there is discussion there bout 99's
There is also, where I go for MOST gun info, since those 2 places have the most folks pooled to learn from www.shootersforum.com and www.go2gbo.com (greybeards) which has 80 forums for each make firearm, etc
dint ya know there was a forum for everything?....JK..but there is if ya think about it
Any options to make the old Weaver brighter/clearer?
Will a newer scope fit the Stith mount?
They weren't exceptionally clear to start with. But most likely the years hasn't been all that kind to it. Weaver will refurbish the old scopes but the charge for it is fairly hefty and quite honestly the end result isn't usually all that great.Any options to make the old Weaver brighter/clearer?

Most had the model right in front of the eyepiece adjusting ring threads. Usually with some msc patents etc.Any ideas how to exactly ID my scope? There are no markings I can see.
I'm now looking at some bolt actions in 250 savage.Love the way the savage 99s feel and shoulder, I’ve got one in 308 that’s one of my favorite deer guns and always gets busted out in Nov
