For years I've been looking for a 99. Really wanted a .250-3000 for a pronghorn hunt this fall but didn't have much luck at a decent price. In the meantime, I found a really, really nice one in .300 Savage that I bought.
So now comes along a gorgeous one in .250-3000. Take down model made in 1917. Lock up is tight as a vault, blue and wood are nearly perfect. Bore shines like a mirror. I saw it and put it on lay away and will have it out next week.
Since this is kinda new ground for me, I didn't even think about mounting a scope. My eyes are no longer good enough to use the factory Lyman peep for antelope. It's not drilled and tapped, and I've been told that doing so would cut the value considerably. Thing is, I bought it to use, not sit at home in the safe.
Any options??
