Model 99 in .284 Winchester

[Barneyhunts]

I had the same issue with eye relief, even using Weaver mounts, and I fixed it with a longer eye relief scope. If I was supposed to shorten the screws, nobody told me, and I continue to live in happy ignorance. This is, however, on an old beater EG with a Bubba D&T.

Any time I need to shorten a screw, I find a matching nut, thread that on first, then grind/file/Dremel away. Removing the nut clears the last thread. A little gentle filing cleans it up the rest of the way.

Thanks again for your input Model24.
