Looking for information and a source for a factory rear barrel sight for a Savage 99T.
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.
i have a older rear sight for a 99 with windage and elavation, it came off a 303 savage. i don,t know savage rifles, what year would the 99 t be?
.
(Old guys know "stuff" )
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:

Now I lay me down to sleep

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,
rick
I check multiple times a day.
