Jeff,
I really like CZ rifles and pistols. Its what made me buy it at that time a few years ago and i don't regret it. If I buy another deer rifle, I want a CZ in 6.5x55. But if the Smith-Corona works out I won't need it.
I was looking at a pic of the Sedgley Springfield 1903 and it looks like my 03. The bolt isn't original, or at least the handle is the same as the Sedgley. The stock looks original and maybe a little butchered. I think the barrel has been shortened but I'm not sure.
My father bought a stock and it looks like a project he never finished so I'm going to finish it for him when I get the time. The price is still on the butt, written in ink. $13.
When was the last time you saw a raw stock for $13 in a gun shop? I'm going to sand it smooth, bed it to the reciever and give it a coat of varnish and make it pretty. Maybe checker it, or maybe I'll make some diamonds out of 60 grit dry/wet sand paper and glue them on.
