My take down 1899/99 Early "F" model built in 1924 gives 1.5 inch 5 shot groups at 100 yards, using factory Hornady ammo. I consider that fine accuracy for a big game rifle. If you are looking for consistent 1 inch or smaller groups at 100 yards, than any model 99 is probably not going to give you that consistent accuracy. See my write up of resurbishing my rifle.
