Back in 1973 I had a nice 03A3 full military. Didn't have much use for it then and had just enough heart not to build a rifle out of it. Sold it for $150. which I thought at the time was a lot of money and I bought a new Remington model 700 BDL 270 from Gibsons for $134. plus tax. I think I was 17 when I bought it. My 30-06 was built from a Springfield someone had already started the "sporterize". By that they had chopped the stock and thinned it up. Still had the peep sight on it. I gave $75. for it in 1979. I notice no mention of the model 700.
