[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4157455, member: 45785"] I grew up with, and took my first (and so far only) deer with a 1903 Springfield dad sporterized in 5he early 60's. Named Betsy, of course. :) Personally I prefer them milspec, but YMMV. I'd like to shoot in the milsurp category at the local range. Tried it with a Mosin but was having troubles. Think I'd do better with the Springfield. I've built an 03A3 Frankenfield, but... ;) If I were a rich man...I'd collect 1903xx rifles. But I'm not rich and unlikely to become so at this late date. So I have one real but sporterized 03, and the NO fake. Bought the action & milsurp barrel relatively cheap, and added surplus & replica parts to it. Hasn't been smoke tested. Nor headspace checked... Someday! [/QUOTE]
