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.

Yes they are! Both, but I sure like everything about the Savage, and in its classic cartridge. 👌

Nice looking rifles. The 88 in particular has nice grain in the furniture. Hope you enjoy both of them.

Here is the rear sight. It's a Lyman, When you turn the knurled ring on the outside, it opens or closes the peep hole.

That’s probably a Merit aperture screwed into the Lyman. They’re still available if you want some more. Very nice EG, I have it’s twin that is one of my favorite rifles.

I am so jealous! I'm looking for a nice 44 mag or a BLR in 300 wsm.

Wow! More grain there than a Kansas farm!! All 4 of the levers in this post would be total safe queens for me. I’d be so scared to scratch and ding em. Thanks for sharing these beauties!

Centennial M94 in 30-30 and Browning M71 in 348 Ackley Improved.

The Ackley has a Skinner bolt peep and the Winchester has the Lyman tang from the factory.
