I just got this 1903 Springfield sporterized by Bubba. It is in good shape and Bubba didn't do half bad on this one. I've been looking for several years for a high number 1903 that someone else has ruined any collector value on, but hadn't ruined the rifle completely, so that I could make a sporter similar to one I had in the late 60's. I plan on keeping this one an iron sight rifle and using it to hunt stands where most all shots will be less than 100 yards. It's long, heavy and probably won't come close to shooting minute of angle, but it's made of steel, walnut and the action is slick as a ribbon. I like it.
