Savage Arms 99 Tang Sight Rear Black

The Marble Arms Savage Arms 99 tang sight rear in black is a classic aperture sight built for hunters and shooters who want to restore period authenticity to their lever-action rifle while genuinely improving field performance. Mounted at the rear of the tang, this peep sight positions the aperture closer to your eye than the factory notch—a setup that sharpens sight definition and speeds target acquisition when seconds matter in the field or on the range.

All-steel construction with adjustable micrometer clicks for windage and elevation tuning means you can dial in your zero precisely and hold it. The sight folds down to the rear when stowed, keeping it out of the way without removing it. Whether you're hunting with a Savage 99 or shooting Cowboy Action matches, this tang sight combines practical accuracy with the look and feel serious rifle enthusiasts expect.

A longer sight radius—the distance between your front and rear sights—inherently boosts accuracy potential. That geometry, combined with the clarity of an aperture sight, gives you a tangible edge over open notch sights. Note that mounting screw sets are sold separately, so check the fitting chart to confirm the correct hardware for your specific rifle model before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy mounting screws separately?

Yes. This sight does not include the mounting screw set. You'll need to consult the fitting chart to identify the correct hardware for your Savage 99 model, then purchase those screws separately.

Is this sight compatible with my Savage 99?

This sight is designed for the Savage 99. Always verify the exact model and year of your rifle against the fitting chart to ensure proper fit and correct screw specification.

Can I fold this sight out of the way?

Yes. The sight folds down to the rear, allowing you to store it without removing it from the rifle or blocking your line of sight when not in use.

What's the advantage of an aperture sight over the factory notch?

Aperture (peep) sights provide superior sight definition, faster target acquisition, and inherently greater accuracy because they force your eye to center naturally in the rear aperture. Combined with the longer sight radius of a tang-mounted rear sight, this design gives you meaningful advantages in both hunting and target shooting.
