Savage 99T

[ostrick]

Looking for information and a source for a factory rear barrel sight for a Savage 99T.

There is a Savage 99 forum on facebook and 24hourcampfire, those fellows will help you out.

Don’t do FB and have posted on 24hour but no luck yet.
Thanks for replying.

All Savage 1899/99 rifles exact year of mfg can be found via the rifle's SN.

Different barrel configs (length/contour/etc) had slightly different rear sights, but the 99T was most likely issued with a semi-buckhorn long leaf rear sight similar to this one:

Here's the Savage 1899/99 SN DOM listing up to 1940:

Rifle fits within the 1939 year range. My understanding is they only made the 99T for a five year period. This rifle has not been D/T, no sling swivels or any other mods that I can see, only missing the rear barrel sight. Original T sight would be great but I haven’t seen one for sale so I would at least like to put a period correct sight on it.

eastbank, I would like to see your sight.

Ebay is where I find many of the older sights and such that I need.
Good Luck,
