A friend recently acquired a Savage 99 and would like to put a scope on it. the front of the receiver has two holes drilled about .425 apart but the rear of the receiver only has the holes for mounting a tang sight.

If that doesn't work? Check fleabay for a used 99 mount. Doesn't matter, if it all ready has holes in it, as long as it fits the receiver. Now your going to have to get a skilled machinist or gunsmith. To drill holes in the mount that match the tapped holes in the receiver. This might entail, plugging some of the already existing holes in the mount?

should be "stith"
Local gunshows often have a few old 'new stock guys' with boxes of sight base stuff. Second e bay, search every week for your part.
You might post on the wanted forum. Got a local "Maker" club, machining one out of mild steel or brass on a small CNC could be do able. A while back I looked at a small (desktop) 5 axis mill - would be a fun project.
Certainly not a Vortex, Leupold, Swarovsky, or even a damn Tasco! But, better than open sights for my tired old eyes......
I have seen on the auction side someone is making "split" rings for larger diameter scopes........
