Dec 23, 2014 · First.. the new Marbles tang sights "work", but I don't know of hardly any Savage 99 folks that want one on their rifle. For the same price you can probably pick up an older Lyman or Marbles tang sight - which, while not windage adjustable, is far better quality wise. My top choice is probably the Lyman 29 1/2 or 30 1/2. Pricey, but one of the ...

Dec 11, 2017 · Gents, I have a 1927 made take down in 300 savage. The only rear peep I've been able to find is a Williams, but the holes are too close together and I don't want to drill the receiver but rather just affix to the existing two holes that came with the rifle.

Jan 27, 2015 · Prior to redesigning the 99 action to incorporate a tang mounted safety, Savage 1899s and 99s came from the factory with two holes d&t in the tang for no other purpose than to mount a peep sight. For many years, Savage cataloged factory installed peep sights as an addition cost option and they were the standard/primary rear sight on the Model 99RS.

Jun 16, 2010 · Peeps work well out to 100 yds, about the farthest you need to shoot at here back east. My eyesight is getting dodgy too so a scope is nice in low light though--I think a rear reticle a little large in diameter, about 5/8 through 3/4" might help with a peep too.

Dec 21, 2023 · There is no variant of the 99 that a pair of 6-48 screws will be insufficient to hold a receiver sight under recoil. Though some of them are 8-40. How old is the 99 you're wanting to set up? Are you looking for a tang sight or one a bit further forward on the receiver? Marbels makes a nice tang sight and its available through MIDWAY

Dec 18, 2008 · Posted By: 99Lover Re: peep sight on savage 99 - 12/18/08 Bought a 1950 Eg model 99 in .300 a few years ago, came with an old weaver KV-60 scope on it....Took it off bought a new Marbles tang sight for it ( IMO 99's just look "right" with a tang sight) which is windage adjustable and removed the aperature to make it a "Ghost Ring".

Jul 29, 2007 · My 99 already has a newer Marble peep tang sight on it. I am thinking about replacing the original front sight with a florescent orange Marble contour front sight to increase visibility for hunting. Another idea is to install a folding …

Digging through old American rifleman the peel sight shows up first half of 1948 no drill military rifles in the middle of 1949 the adds start to mention savage 1899 found no pictures though. Did find noske that required drill on the side thought I would post it in case someone here has a rifle drilled in the same manner.

Also, Lyman offered a high front replacement sight for the "rimfire" 24's. Their model 22 repl sight sat in the footprint of the factory sight and used the factory screw. These are commonly found behind the ears of most unicorns. This sight was likely offered byLyman to pair up with their 53D side mounted peep.
