I'm new to the Savage 99 game. Have a .300 Savage in what I believe to be a G S.n 3920XX. From the info here I believe it was manufactured in 1940. 23" muzzle to action. It has the tang crack, which I'll get after fixing soon with the help from the "good info" sticky, Has a Jostam Hygun Pad on it, and of course it has been drilled - two holes in the left side of the action. It came with a W.R. Weaver Model 298 3/4" tube scope. Screw holes are number 10, or a number 8 and stripped. . too humid today - sweating over the gun so set the task away for a cooler day.
It has open sights, but given my vision, I can't use them at more than 20 yards, and even then there are issues. I would like to add a tang peep. Since the rifle has been to Bubba, I don't need a period correct sight. I would like to hunt whitetail deer. Do you folks have any recommendations for a sight?
Thanks much!
