I have a sporterized 1903. Built by Paul Jaegger in 1945.

The scope is a 2 3/4 Redfield I got new in about 1971. The bases and rrings are Redfield from 1945, vertically split. 30-06 but the barrel is about shot. You'd never know it to shoot it though. With 180gr Hornadys it'll sray right at one inch as long as you want to shoot. Though about having it re-bored to a 338-06 but haven't done it yet. Woulkd also kill the value of it. It was appraised in 1993 at $7,500.

There are some beautiful rifles in this thread. That's an itch I have that I haven't scratched yet -- a custom on a Springfield action. Maybe there's still time.

Craigster that is STUNNING!

Don Fischer do you get Precision Shooting? Michael Petrov, who is a member here, has a long running series therein on custom gunsmiths and his most recent was Paul Jaeger. That article would make a great companion to your rifle!

BEAUTIFUL RIFLES!!!!!!! I'm seriously turning green here gentlemen!!!!!
