I'd definitely purchase one already sportered. It's not economical to buy in original condition and then pay to have it sportered. If you don't have a local gun shop with a selection of used guns then I'd go to Gunbroker or GunsAamerica online.

Kidd, my springfield sporter was a bubba job that cost $90.00. $200 later new 4 groove bbl, lyman reap peep,redfield front ramp sight. Polished bu me and reblued by smith. Has two bolts. Standard 1903A3 and a polished 1903A4 that has the thickness reduced and both bolts headspace to this rifle. The A4 sniper bolt headspaces tighter than the other. Now doing work on a reworked "C" stock, someone chopped the forend square so will have to add either rosewood or ebony. Frank
