Steve - very, very cool addition. No I don't have one but I sure wish I could have grabbed that one. That sight would have really inspired me when it came to pulling my wallet out

There was one on GB not too long ago... Bidding got too high for me as I recall the rest of the gun was pretty hoo-hum... Nice grab

Poor Steve Is still waiting to get it!! The week after Christmas(read tapped out) I stopped in to a shop and there it was. 1899A 303 with a good portion of its high luster left, no cracks or sling studs and a shiny bore.

I have one that was taken off an 1899 303 SRC years ago. Have contemplated having it put on a rifle but it currently just sits in a parts box. BillR

It would be very hard to make the decision to tap the holes needed to mount the sight. I don't know that I have ever run across a rifle that had the tap holes but no sight.

I don't know that I have ever run across a rifle that had the tap holes but no sight. This one only has one hole but I wonder if it was for a climbing lyman? It already has a tang sight mounted on the wrist, so I don't know why it would have been drilled. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Sava...6Ntt%3D1895%2Bsavage&Ntt=1895+savage

Wow - that is one ugly hole. As we know, they did make a sight to mount on the wrist, but that sure isn't it. I do agree that the hole in the receiver hole looks about right for a climbin Lyman. That rifle is a great example of a rifle that I sure ain't interested in.

A friend told me about the one, above, and another friend pointed out the second dovetail in the barrel, and his thoughts were that the hole and dovetail were for a malcome type scope & mount. just passing on some info! from some friends!

John, from the marks above and below the hole and the dovetail location I would agree that it has had a long tube scope on it.

yeah, I think that Boltman is thinking of the big curvy jobber he had and shows with the rubber band holding it on... but I was under the impression that the tang site on the gun linked is right for the 1895.
That gun also has two big tang cracks... it was for sale on GB for a lot less before that seller dropped it with Cabelas. I look at a lot of guns but I remember the interesting ones and am certain of this... I actually have had several PM chats with board members on that gun many months ago. Makes you wonder if the tang site is ACTUALLY original to the gun as delivered and the scope was added later and was used with the tang sight folded down? Or was the scope set-up first and the tang added later...
I am also a little confused on how the malcolms mount as I thought they normally used the front dovetail and the screw in the side of the receiver but then why the additional dove tail?
anyways....

That rifle is a great example of a rifle that I sure ain't interested in. you sure that is not the tang site for the wrist of an 1895? I guess it would be interesting to see what letters are marked on the underside of that tang sight. Don - what is marked on the underside of yours? I have learned something today as I have never seen a tang sight mounted on a wrist of a M1895. The only wood mounted one I was aware of was the one that is mounted much further back. And that one sort of made sense for someone who wanted a sight close to their eye. That model is more commonly found on Winchesters. Back to the one mounted on the M1895 wrist - this is not making sense to me as why not just mount a sight in the rear tang where there are tap holes put there specifically for that purpose
