Lets see your rifles with peep sights

My savage 308 left hand 19 inch barrel. Weighs 6.5 pounds

Here's a few photos of one I've had for quite a spell it's a pre-war Winchester Model 70 with a Lyman peep site. The photos are not that good and should do them over without the Superposed Gun case it confuses things. What I like about the Lyman site is the stock remains untouched without having to notch it out for the site. The site doesn't come into contact with the stock at all.

If any of you guys on this forum know where a vintage peep sight for a 1957 savage 99 would be please let me know.

Hey C . , any requests ? We've got an abundance of Lyman & Stevens.

Any from Europe or Asia ?

I would be looking for a lyman or redfield manufacturer peep sight. That is for the savage 99 with the lever safety since mine has that safety.

It's been fired but very little. I shot it a few times when I first acquired it in the 1990's. The barrel script reads 30 gov't 06. It's in excellent condition.

Love the rear peep sights on the big bores



Though I’ll admit Iv only pulled the trigger twice on this .458wm about 25 years ago. That rear sight hates a left handed gripper.

That a bolt peep sight on that 458?.

So many of these are vintage classics from a time before people started throwing scopes and red dots on top of everything. Does anyone keep the art alive making modern peep/aperture centrefire rifles?

You do have a few options for the 99.
Top is a Redfield,
Lyman 57 s a ,
Lyman 57 s b - it works but ( not recommended as stock needs a cutout- not by me but not # matched rifle anyway).
Williams FP99 and,
Marbles Tang.
They are discontinued and not cheap! Somewhere around what I paid for some of my first 99’s. I don’t remember if I’ve bought any sights separately but think most of the dozen or so I have came with a gun mounted underneath.

It really is to bad they dont make new peeps for this old stuff. But even then the sites would be expensive probably. I here's Lyman doesn't even make peep sights anymore.

Im not quite sure but I dont see why they shouldn't. They look cool and work quite well.

 

[450yukon]

I think Williams is the only major maker of 'old' gun sights. They still make a receiver sight for the tang safety 99's (99FPS) but requires D&T on the lever safety models.

This is perfection to me.

Off the top of my head I think this is the only bolt rifle I have with a peep sight, or at least the nicest one. Springfield’03 in .270wcf, I have no idea who made it, absolutely no markings anywhere other than the caliber stamp.
