Have had a 99 in .243 for 30+ years. Only "flaw" is being careful if you reload -- I need to stay near the bottom of the recommended loads for mine. Assuming that you have one with the tang safety, you may want to stay away from a scope with a real large eyepiece, depending upon how low your scope rings are and if you will be shooting it while wearing gloves. (Have an older Redfield 2.75x widefield in low Weaver rings on mine.)
