TWO LEVER BEAUTIES #17154683 04/12/22 Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 42,584 Orange Park, Florida jorgeI OP Campfire 'Bwana OP jorgeI Campfire 'Bwana Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 42,584 Orange Park, Florida I recently acquired these two, a lovely 99 EG with the coolest Lyman Sight I've ever seen (the peep works like a diopter) in 300 Savage and just about the NICEST 88 I've ever seen. This one is a newer one but it's just perfect. in 308 WCF. A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

They’re still available if you want some more. Very nice EG, I have it’s twin that is one of my favorite rifles. Merit for sure . I have them on all of my receiver sights. I have used them since the mid 60's. They were out of production for several years but they are back now. EABCO stocks them for the Williams sights thread but it also fits most Redfield and Lyman sights also. https://www.meritcorporation.com/ Last edited by EddieSouthgate; 05/13/22.
