Savage 99 Scope Ideas

Light and low profile, like hunting with the centerfire version of a recurve bow; scoping a Savage 99 from the 1930’s almost demands Weaver’s first scope, the Weaver 330. Shown here on a Vintage Gun Scopes restored Weaver 330c with color case accents, rings, and Redfield JR patent base.

Rare Bird: A 1939 Savage 99T with a Griffin and Howe side mount and Vintage Gun Scopes refurbished Lyman Alaskan. As far as a vintage scope for a Savage 99 goes, the Lyman Alaskan is a rock solid choice, especially for a rifle dated from the late 30’s through the 40’s.

Western hunter Savage 99: Here is 1957 Savage 99F in .308 that drives tacks. It’s topped with a Vintage Gun Scopes Restored and Re-Glassed Weaver K2.5 with Litschert 8x Booster. Personal rifle of VGS owner, James Brion. This rifle is capable for Montana's open country Antelope and Mule deer and the fully coated replacement glass is just like looking through a modern 8x scope.  The 1950's Redfield patent base and square-milled 6-screw rings bring it all together for a period-perfect build. 

An original Weaver K4 circa 1947-55 is the most common scope addition to a 1950’s version Savage 99 like this one. Hundreds of thousands of hunters were right to top the 99 with K4s in the 50’s and 60’s. Here, a Vintage Gun Scopes Restored Weaver K4 sits atop a Savage 99F. The Weaver base and rings make mounting a scope on a Savage 99 quick and easy.

Later versions of the Savage 99 commonly carried variable scopes. Here a Vintage Gun Scopes refurbished Weaver V7W (widescreen) and Vintage Gun Scopes restored color case hardened Weaver detachable top mount rings sit atop a beautiful Savage 99 C model. This scope allowed for 2.5 to 7x variable power.

Lever guns just look great with straight tubed scopes. The Savage 99 is no exception. Here a Vintage Gun Scopes Refurbished Weaver V4.5 is mounted on a .300 Savage 99F. A must-have for short to medium range shooting and an elegant look.
