1903A3 by Remington
War time production, 42 serial with a 44 barrel that was mint. So used, rebarreld and then arsenalled. Most likely as a training rifle in the states.
Really nice stock and the parkerization was nice as well.

It shot like a lazer, even took it out to 900 yds with very good results by aiming at the top edge of the target.
Dude with AI next to me at 600 yds, he was hitting the center, and I was running a circle around him.. Him scoped and bipodded, I'm irons and sling.
he goes "you Belgian Bastard" (he's still a good friend now)

I shot 3006, Sierra palma heads in it, full power loads, matched to M2 ball ballistics so my sight elevation was accurate in yds.

it never felt uncomfortable, not even after a days shooting, that rifle fit me like a glove and I really had it figured out .

You would make a wonderful EU bureaucrat. Which I would think are the progeny of the Germans who loved to march around in their brown uniforms and boots while saluting their leader.

You are lucky I share anything at all. .

I am familar with the whole 03 family..
