If you want one, get the best grade you can afford. They aren't making these anymore and they are a great shooting rifle.
I looked at CMP before, when I was looking for a 1903.
You know how ridiculously expensive they are most places now
I don't meet the requirements to order from them (haven't attended Appleseed or any other sanctioned event, nor am I a member of any marksmanship club or organization)
Looks like the 1903's are gone now anyway, though a Garand would be nice.
Maybe I'll have to make a point of fulfilling those requirements.

This would be my only gun that still gets me giddy every time I pull it out of the case.



Some more mods will be added this winter when racing season is over. More than anything, a nice trigger. It's one sweet shooting gun though. I took out a horsefly on the target at 100 yds with ease.

Clay, that looks dead on my Les Baer. It's funny, for a custom gun, with custom components they all look the same. But I love shooting it. I might add a trigger sometime, but it shoots so well as of now so who knows, why mess with perfection.

Fine, I'll play too.

I opted for the Turner sling instead of the bipod since I usually shoot off the bags at the range.

Well, there would be one major difference... mine's a 308.

If you want to talk about rare, here's the first and finest of all Smith&Wesson double-action revolvers: .44 Special Hand Eject First Model (aka Triple Lock). This one is dated back to 1909.

Early Christmas-time for me! Upgraded to the Sig from my Glock, and like it FAR better.

The Kahr is also remarkably sweet-shooting & accurate for a sub-compact.
