pizzaboynew 1903 sniper rifle
Help!
A few months ago, in an American Rifleman, there was an article about a company making a 1903 sniper rifle recreation with scope included. Does anyone know what company is selling these? I've misplaced the issue with the article.
I'm wanting to get into vintage military shooting, but my eyes won't allow iron sights. There is a sniper class available and this rifle would be perfect!

Interesting that you would mention such a rifle and for vintage military shooting for I am in the process of building such a rifle. Mine is a Springfield Mod. 1903(Remington mfg., '42) and only recently purchasing Unertl scope to mount on rifle. As you mention, my nearly 70yr old eyes makes it tough to do with those very fine 03 ladder style sights. Shot this past weekend in off hand stage, 10shots@200yds, 10 minutes and scored a 96-5X's which is very good for me. Original Springfields shoot very well with the right loads. I intend to use mine for 600yd long range prone matches.
