The Marlin 336 offers twice the fun at a fraction of the price as a high-quality lever action that allows for many types of fun and great-looking scope mounting options, many of which allow instant or near-instant access to the iron sights.

A few great ideas for making your Savage 99 shootable and useful again.

my personal parameters were that it had to be a 6x or maybe 8x, medium crosshair and should be closer to period than the 1965 that was coming off. That’s it.

The optics and mounts that graced the pre-war Savage model 99’s are definitely beautiful in their own vintage right, but functionally crude in comparison to those that came after the war.
