The rear sight is from a much later model 99. What's the front sight look like?
But, it looks to be in good condition.
I think the wood has been redone though.

![[Linked Image]](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/jorgeIg/savagebarrel_zpscfgqznaq.jpg) I had a friend of mine look at it and we compared it to a reworked wood one. He did not seem to think so, but I suppose it will be hard to ascertain.

Nope, you need a Rocky Mountain semi buckhorn. Quite a bit longer.

How about this sight? Late `20's into the `30's. Also used on the .22's.

Thanks. On the hunt for one right now, but to a neophyte , it's confusing.

Thanks. On the hunt for one right now, but to a neophyte , it's confusing. They all look the same to me! That's why I got one with a Malcolm scope on it, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Loaded up some 180r Speer RNs that came with the 300 Savage I bought from Gunner. I looked up in an old Cartridges of The World bool and found that 29gr of IMR 3031 was a "factory duplicate load" for the 180 at 2150 fps. Not so, here are the results o it and two other loads.
Brass : PRVI
Primer: WLR
OAL: 2.530 (no issues w Rotary Mag.
29/3031: 140 fps but I'm just not believing that
30/4064: 1983,67, 27
30/4895: 1942,65,02
All very smooth extraction and no signs of pressure
They all seemed to group well, but very low (which might account for the rear sight).
I've done a search here and elsewhere and have loaded up the following:
3031: 31
4064: 32.5
4895: 32.5
Question is, what should be my target MV? Cartridges Of the World says 2150 but I can't seem to find any useable data.
Also, the safety's a bit loose as it tends to move forward and lock every couple of shots.
