Great photos! A m1917 or a p14 are high on the wishlist.

this 1903 is my friends, his gun safe is not big enough so give it to me :lol: he bought it 1.5k if I remember correctly

I like 1903A3 but it's hard to find and will be not affordable for me

Both premier service rifles for us bolt-actioners. I’ve been running an m17 (+central) during fullbore for a few months, and it almost keeps up with the proper target rifles, almost. Only a couple of integers behind the proper target rigs, out of the target sling. Both very accurate.

Indeed the 03A3 is slightly more desirable due to the adjustable windage.

Admire your photo skills, as usual a nice set of pics. Your friends WW2 era 1903 is very nice but I will send a PM regarding a question I have about it that may be best kept on the QT. I have a WW1 1918 dated Springfield 1903 which I shoot sometimes, it is one of the Nickel Alloy receivers so I can use full power ammo. Thanks for sharing.
