DavidReedWhat year is your rifle or what is the serial range? How about a photo?
If what your describing and what I'm thinking of are the same thing then that is/was the .375 H&H rear sight for barrels without the rear sight boss. That's not to say that your rifle didn't come with that sight from the factory since winchester accomadated special orders.

Recoil RobI bought it from a seller that said it was for a Savage 99, but some research told me it's for the pre-64 .375 H&H M70.

Recoil RobOf course, Davis is correct, it's a 6W, my post has been changed. That's what comes of working from memory.
Thanks for the heads up.
