A remington 03-A3 with a nice two groove barrel is worth its weight in gold.
Correct nickel steels,correct heat treatment correct boring and rifling operations.
Two grooved barrels have been unjustly maligned,and are more easily found in unfired condition.(at least here,in Italy)
In my opinion a springfield rifle,used only with cast bullets will keep its value,or should increase its value with time.
Get one,and you'll discover that the piece has and gives a feeling that cheaper modern sporters have not got.
The older 03 with that nightmare of the Buffington sight ,with the battle sight regulated at 541 yards does not speak to me.
I hope my Rem US Model of '17 does not read this post,or it will take offence,he is jealous.
I have owned two original Colt ratguns,a long barreled and a short one.
Nine inch twist,52 grains Sierra Match boattails,good Win brass Vihtavuori 135 to the brim,
They shot better than any surplus gun I had at 300 meters,I sold them both,They did not speak to me.
