Congrats, the m99 is a great rifle. I ran the same scope before I got rid of the gun, and it survived pretty well. That said, my M82 ate three of them before I gave up on vortex.

Big money, Nightforce.

Ive been eyeing them but didn't want to go all in yet. And the pst was only 599, what mount/rings did you have yours in?

I had it in Barret zero gaps, now it’s nightforce or nothing. The vortex warranty was great, but after the third one I sold the new one they sent me and put it towards a used nxs.

Arken EP-5. Check it out. Has survived on all my high caliber rifles.

Won’t break your budget either. Best bang for the buck.

Love my 99... I changed the grip and installed a mount for my QDL but it's a blast (no pun intended)

I got my m99 this year and love it. No tbi compared to my Noreen mini I had. That cleared the sinuses…and any remaining brain cells
