An old friend came back home the other day. Lost her to debts and shortness of funds a couple years ago was lucky enough to get her back the other day. Short story is it is a 1903 Springfield with an 11-30 Springfield barrel someone a long time ago added a lyman peep that you see so i did not feel too bad creating a "sniper" replica out of it. I added a 10 power unertl scope and rings i picked up and here you go. I know the purests may cringe but its as close to a sniperalike as my wallet can get. Just thought i would share

Glad you were able to get it back. It might be a home build but its still very cool.

Looks like a nice one. Glad you got it back. Looks like a National Match rifle.

A thing of beauty!! Like the prodigal son who has returned!! Time to kill the fatted calf. While a purist appreciates originality ....no one can argue that your weapon is a mighty fine piece..no doubt. Semper-fi and This We'll Defend. Mikep
