MileHighShooter9.3 project off the smith very soon!
Just waiting on ironing out the final details on cost/time estimates! Very excited!! Z-Hat will be doing the work.
It is going to be a 9.3x62, built on a 1903 A3. I'm going with a sporter weight contour, at 23". Going to have some sort of dura-coat put on after its all done. I'm hoping I can special order a B&C with the aluminum bedding block, used to be an option through their webpage, but I don't see that anymore, I'll be contacting them about that after I'm done writing here. If not, well...might have to save a few more pennies for a McMillan or Manners. Already have a gun with a laminate, so I don't want to go that option.
Not sure on the mounts/rings, I will have to look into that. Any of you 1903 owners have suggestions on that one??
Scope will be a 3-9x40 Nikon.
I know its going to be a ways off until I'm holding the finished rifle in my hand, ready to shoot, but I'm already giddy about the project
