I've got a thing for 1903's and A3's. Over the years I've picked up a number of them...some which are restorable and some which are not.
I especially like the old school "targetized" 1903's.

Thanks, bruce...I'm sure you are right.
Earlier this month I glommed a Remington 1903 A3 at an auction. It looked pretty original in the auction pictures. The California DROS system finally rendered to me what is mine...

Thanks, Jim!
There does seem to be some disagreement about the Model 70 NM. It appears that during the 50's the NM model had a standard weight barrel, as you describe. The medium-weight barrel was...
Thanks, guys! When it arrived, I gave it a good going over found a not-to-deep rub mark on the pistol grip, along with a few small dings in the stock. Other than that, the Winchester is pretty much...
I've always had a thing for the Winchester model 70 match target rifles. I finally got a chance at one for a decent price and won this one at auction. Luckily I have an unused Redfield International...
The California DROS system finally wheezed back to life and I was able to pick up my 52. I agree with the people who say it looks better with the wood grips.

Thanks, fjruple. I've managed to collect a few magazines, several with the metal follower, several with the plastic follower. Have the plastic followers been known to cause problems?
Not a bad price.
I got mine for $620, plus a 10% "Buyers Premium". It came with the box, paperwork and original grips, but no magazines.
Luckily I glommed two magazines at a different auction...

Thanks, RCS

That is hilarious. Who would have thought.
Haven't had a chance to look it over closely yet. It did come in its original box, along with all the sights, manual, an extra magazine, warranty card and a test target. It really doe look unfired.

I won a BRNO model 4 rifle at an online auction a few weeks ago. Looks like it is good shape.

I ran across some kind of Swedish Mauser target rifle. The description advised that it was a Schultz and Larsen Otterup 6.5 x 55. Pictures said otherwise.
