    Another couple of recent additions to the Safe.....

    M1903 bought from a Forum Member. It started life as a Receiver made at Rock Island in 1919, and put into storage to be made into a whole M1903 by Springfield in the late 1920s. It was later refurbished in early 1945 where it received its 1944 dated barrel. It shoots bloody good! The group in the photo was the first ten rounds I put through it using GC Greek .30-06 Military ball (all 1977 vintage).

    ..and a common old Swiss K31.....

    In longrange riflery, trajectory is the pure science part. Gravity is a constant for our purposes.
    Wind is in the art department.
    Light is pure fucking voodoo.

    It's a Remlin/Marlington. Apparently early on they had quality issues, particularly ill-fitting woodwork, but they got it sorted. The wood quality on this is great with nice chequering. It'll be interesting to see what Ruger puts out.

    man that 336 classic is very nice would like a bit more bang as a caliber 30-30 does not really rock my boat - my favourite if finance allowed -Winchester super grade wood blue pre 64 action in the classic 270 ( if one could actually get one here )
