[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 471103, member: 24284"] Those on the 'used' rack that have already been 'sporterized' can be nothing but alot of trouble, too. Are the scope mounting holes drilled on the center line? Was the bolt handle forged tastfully or welded on by a skilled welder? Did they control the heat when they did the bolt handle work? Or 'egg shape' the rear end of the bolt body when they forged the handle? All things that should be considered when thinking of buying a 'sporterized' Springfield or Mauser off of the rack at the pawn or gunshop. I've seen some real good lookin' "classic custom" rifles that weren't worth having because of the mechanical problems their 'builders' gave them. [/QUOTE]
