I think one (Perchbelly?) at the Fest was Winchester marked vs. Savage. I don't remember which version of the sight it was. If anyone has a Winchester version they could compare to the Savage it might be good info to have.
Since the Savage receiver is about 5/16" wider than a Winchester I would think the sight would need to be adjustable for windage. Don't know if the mounting hole would be in the same place or not.
I have a feeling that the Savage version might not have been made for as many years as the Winchester. We might be able to guess at a time period by collection the serial number of the rifles with these sights added. It might have been one of those hot items till something better came along then quickly died.

Rick, they are adjustable for windage with a mallet!! the savage ones have a real gradual curve that follows the curve of the receiver, the winchester and marlin have a relatively sharp 90% bend on the top, the savage ones have a S A stamp on the inside. My rifle serial number is 144xxx. Don

I've seen about 6 or 7 over the last 35 years or so, but that is a whole lot more than I have seen fitted with this rare sight: If you find either sight, they both represent a problem. You have to drill and tap the receiver to mount the Climbin Lyman and you have to drill holes in the wood the mount the one I have. Well, not actually, as you can see I have gone with the rubber band method. Not quite as sturdy but much better as far as value reduction

I have had both the 21 and 38 on 1895 Winchesters, both adjust for windage, but as noted above the 21 has to be tapped from side to side. The 38 has screw adjustment but the adjustment knob was too easy to move, could see it getting turned going in and out of a gun case.

Yesterday at the P.G.C.A. show in Greensburgs I asked Ken Bean (aka "The Sight Man")about the Lyman 21 for a Savage, he said that he has seen three of them. He had a pivoting arm for one but none of the locking hardware.

I'm feeling my years I guess, I can remember when we used to see them all the time on savage 99s and Win. M-95s...then they seemed to disapear...Some of the tang sights were pretty unpopular by yesteryears hunters as they had a habit of sticking in your eye, fortunatly I don't know of anyone that lost an eye, but plenty of folks somehow stuck them in their eye, usually in the bone over the eye itselfs...:)

Ray - I seem to recall a hunt written up decades ago where a woman had injured if not lost her eye using a tang sight. I think maybe she was shooting a Savage '99. I recall she was shooting up at a sharp angle - which does make an eye injury like this a lot more possible. In this regard, the Lyman No. 21 was a lot less likely to cause an injury than a tang sight. By the way, I do recall when you saw these sights all the time on '95, '86, '94 and to some extent '92 Winchesters. Don't see them near as often anymore. But, I never saw them with any frequency on Savages. Of course, I'm not as long in the tooth as some here
