that actually looks like original buttstock and somebody sanded off the checkering on the forend. some guys do that because they say it bothers their hand.
as for ammo, in my 1895g, every factory load i have tried shoots cloverleaf groups. for deer, the hornady 325 leverevolution is very effective. i have also shot deer with the 400 grain flat nose and the 300 grain hollowpoint. the flat nose is like a battering ram, goes right through with very little expansion or meat loss. the hp usually mushrooms nicely and will sometimes stay inside. the LE blasts good sized holes through and through. i recovered a flat nose 400 that went all the way through a deers shoulder and into the ground about 18 inches. it was hardly deformed at all. i recommend the hornady.
