Tang Sight

[jlawgreen]

All,
I just purchased an .300 Savage 81 this weekend and am new to this forum.
I'd like to put tang sight on mine much like the pix at the top of this URL. Can anybody pls help me zero in on what that would be? I did call Marble's in MI and they claimed one was not now made for the 81. Is one, or is it a Lyman's?
Thanks much for your help.

jlawgreen, welcome to the forum!

What you're looking for is either a Lyman No. 1A AT or a Marble's R-6. They can frequently be found on ebay and other auction sites. Here's one as an example...

81,
Thanks so much for the info. One other question, do the sights, Lyman or Marbles, also come with an " aperture" fitting also?
Thx again.

Both tang sights accept varying sizes of apertures. Originals are not so easy to find, but this guy here makes great reproductions...
