You're not going to have many options. The Savage 99 was a standard hunting rifle in the decades when steel and walnut were the only choices. Composite, injection or fibreglass stocks didn't really come along until well after the 99 went out of production. Wikipedia puts that end date at 1998, but I doubt the line was making more than a handful at a time.
In your situation, I suggest you need to get a stockmaker with a duplicator to machine you one from a blank or modify something you find that you like. Because it is a two piece design, you could use pieces from a Winchester lever (if there is even a plastic model in the aftermarket), or a Lee Enfield No.1 or No.4. But, be prepared to cut and fill voids and seams with epoxy or JB Weld.
Good luck!

MPI makes one.
Just buy a Boyd's stock set... they aren't lighter, but you can save your original lumber. Unless you have a very rare 99 and/or "Mint & Unfired", they just are not worth restocking... and if it is mint and unfired are your really going to use it?
To me, just go ahead and use it as is, and refinish the wood later if necessary, you will lose less value than the cost of the new stock.
