Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

To do it correctly the barrel will need to be set back. I sure would leave it alone.

Id Leave that savage 99 as is also, IMO it would devalue it

Sent you a PM.
A rechamber & proper barrel set back would require mods on forearm hanger.
