I still shoot my marlin 3030,but I just got a savage saddle ring carbine model 1899c in 30 30,in very good to excellent condition ,the peep sights on it are mint.I never shot peep sight till the other day,cool.
My older brother who is now 80 gave it to me and it was my grandfathers.rifle is made in 1917 has ivory sight on front with half moon flip down sight. I know very little about these rifles,thuogh I did shoot it after a good barrel cleaning.My bro got in 1958 and shot one deer in 1967 with it and it was in his room since then.
If anyone can tell me more about this rifle please pm me.I do want to hunt with it,cool to shot something my grandfather used to feed my mother ,plus I never met my grandfather he died around when I was born.. Nicest gift ever given to me.I offered to buy it some 35 years ago and he told me wait and you will get it, heck so and I did.
I have shot deer,moose ,bears ,caribou,wolves with a 30 30 with no problem at all.
