Yes, definitely - peep sights are a vast improvement on these rifles over their issue open sights. They can be a little "dark" for use during twilight hours in the woods, but most of them have apertures that are easily removed, turning them into erstwhile "ghost ring" sights that let an awful lot of light through them. I find that within normal, "ethical" hunting ranges, peep sights are every bit as easy to use as any scope. And, boy, they sure make the rifle a whole lot handier and easier to carry. And they never fog up - a big issue up here in the "Pacific North Wet".
Early 1950's manufacture Savage 99 in .300 Savage with an original Marble's "Game Getter" rear sight. Essentially a lever action .308, a wonderful, entirely viable 200+ yard deer rifle:

One of the newer manufacturers, Skinner, as shown on a Ruger #1 in .375 H&H Magnum. These are a little less precise in their adjustments, but are one tough little sight:
