Replica M1903A1 USMC Sniper rifle

[Miller Tyme]

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.

You post up the nicest things.
Someone went all out on that rifle.
Even used one that had extra holes for a receiver sight so as not to cause harm to a correct one.

Thanks everyone, 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.

Don't know how long your home range is but I, for one, look forward to seeing what kind of groups you can make with it.

You roll your own, right?

It use to go to 650yds, but it is getting roled back to 500yds to ease neighbors concerns.

By 650y most rounds would be impacting like it was from a mortar, must be a real nervous neighbor...

In Indiana on an average July day, .30-06 can stay supersonic past 1,000 yds.

I think 500 yds will be a very good measure of the gun, provided you're up to the task MT.

I shot my M1-D at Atterbury's KD4 500 yd line during an "any/any" rifle match while JD Wilson kept calling "10" after every shot. I think yours will do quite well.
