Marble's Tang Sight and a Savage 99

[stew71]

Mounted a Marbles tang sight on my Savage 99 .300. Took 5 minutes, including removing the original buckhorn sight and replacing it with a dovetail blank. Took about a half box to get zeroed. I think it works just fine.





I circled the final grouping below. I think it's definitely "minute-of-deer" with Remington 150gr factory loads. Also installed a set of QR swivels for the Montana sling.

Scope? We don' need no stinking scope!!!

Oh yeah! Looks really good and most importantly to me it doesn't interfere with wrapping your hand around the rifle for carrying. Well done.

Impressive - especially the condition your rifle's in.

Yea, I agree with the boys here. I never did care much for regular open sights and a good tang sight will shoot as good as a scope out to 200 meters or so.-----6

Oh yeah, that looks perfect, Stew. I just put one of those Marble's on an elderly M92 that my dad bought when he was a kid. The sight went on nice, like you say. But it took a lot longer than 5 minutes to get the Buckhorn sight out, when I count the 2-hour soak in Kroil.

That will keep you shooting a few more years. Extending the sight rearward sure does a lot to improve the bullet placement.
I like those Marbles with the ready to adjust windage. Have a receiver sight on our 99 in 300 Savage. Does make a fast way to sight
