Looking for an inexpensive Savage 99 tang peep sight

[armedaccountant]

I have a Savage 99 from the 1940s. I would love a tang aperture(peep) sight for it. I know Marble Arms makes one, but it is $126. We have kid #3 on the way so we are saving up for that, and for a Suburban. So $126 is a bit more than I can justify. Are there any less expensive aperture sights available? I am fine with used.

Williams sights are about half that price.

Will a Williams sight work with a 40s model 99? For some reason I thought the Williams were for the 99s with a tang safety.

Lyman & Marbles are about the only game in town for an actual affordable tang sight.

The Lyman is about $30 less then the Marbles.

But, I feel the Marbles is worth the extra cost as it has built-in click windage adjustment and the Lyman doesn't.

It has to be shimmed under the sight base to change windage.
