I'll start it out and suggest .250-3000 for the cartridge.

You need to buy a new rifle for the sight. Darn.  I like them on anything from the mid-teens through the 40's.

Personally, I think I'd prefer it on a .22 HP.

It will fit any 1895,1899 or pre-1960 99.

If I was saving it for something, likely it would be a CD Delux which I would like to own. GW
