I had a Remington made 1903A3 that was built in 42 and rebarreled in 44
I got it with that barrel as good as new..I think it must have gone to arsenal and never used a second run during WW2

I used it for mostly 600 yds shooting in UK, and once shot it to 900 yds (past the elevation range with holdover), prone, sling, no support and was in the black for 10 shots with 4 V bulls..

At 600 yds laying next to a friend shooting scoped 6.5 mm AI rifle.. He'de be shooting Vbull after Vbull.. and I would just circle around his shots with iron sights and just my sling..

It had a great trigger and clearly the WW2 barrels were very good


That's not the sling i used , had a 1907 newly made by Moore Leather in UK, made to be period correct
That's the only rifle i regret selling
