Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Springfield 1903-03A as a custom base action

While the long lock time of the 03 may be a handicap on a target or varmint rifle it is no handicap on the game you would likely hunt with the 35 Whelen. In fact it is an asset on rugged hunting rifles as it insures that the rifle fires in cold, wet, filthy conditions.
