There are, to me, certain classic cartridge rifle combinations. The 03 Springfield in 06 and the pre 64 model 70 in 270 are the definition of classics. For the 03, I look to the old guys, and the aspirations of the Greatest Generation were when they built their ultimate rifle on their sacred Springfields. The 35 Whelen was the power house to fuel their dreams of big game in Alaska or the Yukon. The 25 06 was their dream for screaming bullet speeds and far reach. For classics, they would be my picks.
What a great project to dream about and put together. Imagine a perfectly matched set of the 3, maybe with one of those 22 LR Springfield trainers sitting beside them.
Have fun.
