Thought i would share some pics of my Savage 1899b in .303 Savage. Its from 1908 and was my Great Grandfather's gifted to me by my uncle a few years back.

It has a very dark bore but i am going to put some effort into cleaning it soon. I reload a 170 grain flat point over top of 30 grains of IMR 3031. At 100 yards i can muster up this group with the tang sight. Not the best but its hunting accuracy nevertheless.
