Picked up a new toy yesterday that was such a deal I took off from work and drove over 3 hours each way to pick it up.
It's a Replica M1903A1 USMC sniper rifle. It is an original 1916 Springfield 1903 that had a replacement NOS High Standard barrel manufactured in 1944 installed along with authentic set of Unertl rings, and a Hilux USMC replica scope. It was from an estate of a gentleman from Fort Wayne that use to shoot at Camp Perry so I have little doubt it will be a shooter.

Nice rifle. That's a serious looking scope on that thing too.\
That sight guard reminds me that I bought one for my Remington 1903 A3. It has an R on the side for Remington.

That is nice, thanks for showing it. My gun safes are quite full, but I would find room for that rifle.

Thanks Gentlemen, as soon as we get the OK to resume operations at my local range in a couple of weeks (long story) I will give an update on it.
