So, today I'm minding my own business looking around in a gun store I haunt, all of a sudden a gun jumps outta the rack right into my hands and refuse's to go back in the rack.
It's a Remington 1903A3 action, custom built to a .308 (7.62X51) caliber, with a custom stock made of beautiful American Walnut.
This rifle was formally owned by a local man who had it built by a local "Master Gunsmith".......the fellow who owned it won the Tennessee state "open sight", 200 yard, rifle competition with it for several years in a row.
The only reason he didn't win more years with it is because he switched over to scoped rifle competition, and it would have messed up this beautiful rifle to drill, and tap it for a scope base. I'm glad he traded it in on a new remington, now I have this "treasure"........I had to buy it, the rifle just would not go back in the rack.
not that I know much about guns but ... SU does have a few ... and he has taugh me to shoot a little
That's a good thing, knowing how to shoot that is. I taught my daughter, by the time she was twelve she could out shoot most men.
She can rebuild an engine, a tranny, or a chunk. She was right with me when she was kid. What ever I was doing she wanted know what I was doing, and why....I was glad to teach her.
I've got another rifle spotted. If I can work this deal out it will be a coup......I love older Remingtons, this one is another mid seventies Remington 700 in .375 H&H caliber.....those things will stop a "mad bull elephant in a full charge"......they are awesome.
There's a veterinarian in a near by town got it. I'm hoping to check it out this weekend. If it's half the rifle he says it is I'm gonna get it......hey ya just never know when a "Bull Elephant" might charge ya up here in these Tennessee hills; right?
I was hoping one day ..... to go out to Nebraska .... and take a shot at one of those antelope I'm aways seeing on the plains ..... thought the challenge of a long distance shot would be worth the time
