No-drill receiver sight for 99A?

Post by Pisgah »

Is there such a critter as a receiver sight for the Savage 99A that mounts with the rear scope base screws, such as Williams makes for many models? I checked their site, but it doesn't look like they make one specifically for the 99A. Of course, one of their other sights might possibly be adaptable. I have a machinist friend who could undoubtedy make one, but although he does such odd jobs for me from time to time he tends to be unnaturally obsessed with doing paying jobs! :lol:

The Williams FP-99S should fit the issue scope mount holes.

I'm not up on Savage 99 models but there is a vintage Lyman receiver sight for the 99s.

Lyman 57SA is for the earlier guns and has a 1.125 mounting center
Lyman 57SB is for the later guns and has a .500 mounting center

Look at the auction sites and ebay to find one. I have a 57SB available.

They tend to be pricey tho, starting about $125 if you are lucky, paid $175 for the 57SB almost two years ago.

The simple answer is yes, there was one made but you have to look a bit to get them. I have one on MY 99A.

I can get you a new Williams FP for a Savage 99S fairly reasonable. May not be what you have in mind though. PM me if you don't have luck elsewhere.
