[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1243868, member: 10291"] I can't wait to see the shooting results. This is certainly a unique build! If there is one thing I have learned over the years is that the old military rifles can give very surprising results while breaking all the practices and rules that have dominated our thinking. I have a 1943 vintage 1903 A3 Remington that is all original, and an A3 that has been configured and re-barreled to A4 sniper specs with a Hi-Lux M82 G2 scope that consistently maintain their zero, and shoot .5MOA.....in the case of the 1943, for decades. I have used these rifles for vintage competition. Considering skinny barrels with full length bedding, skimpy stocks, original two stage triggers, etc, etc, I don't think this is a fluke as I have seen these kind of results quite frequently with other shooters rifles. Based on the results I have gotten out to 600 yards, with proper optics and loads, I think these rifles could get the job done if pressed into LRH use. 200 yard group from my A3 [/QUOTE]
