Has anyone here ever used the New England Custom Guns aperture sight that clamps on a Weaver base on a Savage 99? If so, did it work with the original factory front sight?

I have not used one on a 99 but have on other rifles. They are a pretty tall sight and required a higher front on everything I ever put one on.

Not a gun writer but I have one I've on a CZ 527 carbine. What TheKid said, it, required a taller front sight for the CZ too. It looks to me like quality machine work but. IMO the adjustments are comparatively coarse when compared to say a Lyman, Redfield or Williams receiver sight. I'd say they would be fine for a closer range eastern deer/woods rifle and clamp onto the receiver securely with no drilled holes required.

Used one on a Marlin 336 with a piccatinny rail.I had to use a taller Williams front sight.Their sights are head and shoulders above other aperture sights.
Its all right to be white!!

It worked fine for me on my CZ 527 in 22 Hornet. It did not require a taller front sight. The newer CZ's have a front sight which can be adjusted for elevation. I did have to elevate it to it's tallest position for it to work for me.

250, I'll look into it. Figuratively and, perhaps literally.

I have one on a CZ 550 in 375. I had the one hundred hard leaf on the express sight killed off. I left the flip up leafs. It did not require a talker front sight.
The CZ 537 in 223 was another matter. It would have needed a fence post. I went back to a scope.
