Same shop Savage 110E 30.06. Good bore, dinged up stock, 4x Jap scope for $300 OTD. No brainer right.
Looking at resale value in the long run. I think the 1917 has the nod.

Can't afford both so what's an idiot supposed to do.

1917 in any case, especially if it hasn't been hacked to the point it can't be fully restored. Problem is when they did rasterization they typically milled off the sight parts on the rear receiver ring.


That's what got me so excited about it to begin with. It's is not chopped or hacked in anyway other than the forearm being slimmed down. The bore is a little frosty but rifling is sharp. I might look for some military wood but from my observation the wood will cost ALOT more than the rifle itself.

Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad.
