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. 👌

Those are sweet . How about a good detailed shot of the sight you mentioned ?

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

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.
A 380 in my pocket is better than a 45 in my truck!

Another nice pair, Jorge! Here is my latest pair: Stunning pair! Calibers? 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.
