Vintage Quest

I realize, now, that I have no hard data on the hole spacing for the tang on the Savage 99 beyond Marbles saying their tang mounted sight is for 1-1/8" center to center and my measuring my 99EG to 1.130".

1.125 and 1.130 are very similar...

I kind of want a vintage sight because it's a vintage gun.  Old sights will often have similar wear to the rifle.  The rifle isn't pristine, so the sight doesn't need to be.

I really like the Redfield 70 series for this gun.  It looks niftier.

Marbles and Lyman are the more traditional tang sight with a vertical tower on a spring-loaded pivot.  To me the styling is more appropriate for a Win 92 or Win 94 clone.

I'll keep trying to find one.

Ask around among your friends!  Florida is an odd gun market.
