Stone the mating surfaces. Take the buttstock off and take a look at the trigger/sear engagement. You will see which surfaces I mean.
and if anyone knows how to lighten up the cycling/cocking system please post the method, but I doubt that there is such. I have arthur-ritus in my hands and just can't take the pain the that it takes for me to cycle the action and the recocking on 99's! I sold all of my 99's due to that factor, but have one left in 300 Savage, she was my favorite gal over the years. I have no problems with my 94's and BLR's, and Ruger 96, though. Pressure spot in a different place, maybe, or? I'd love to keep my 300 and be able to shoot it! Thx in advance for any help.
The trigger/cocking mechanism on those 99's is something to behold - the sear kinda floats around looking for something to grab onto 
- new shooters should study just how little metal prevents the firing pin from falling - I used to teach Firearms courses and I would set a mouse trap and have the class pass it around, kinda gave them some idea just how touchy a trigger really was - the sear mechanism should have very little if any side play - you can fix that with a thin washer between the sear and the receiver this will help with the 'let off' - stoneing will help but any one I've seen is pretty smooth, just take the wobble out of it -

There's no wobble - just about 300 lbs of squeezing needed to get the trigger to let off
Thanks
