Hello gang.
I recently picked up a sporterized '03 Springfield. This rifle is still a 30-06 and has great iron sights. A Redfield aperture with 1/4 MOA adjustments and a Lyman hooded front with a 2 MOA beade.
The stripper clip guide is intact and functional. I also managed to locate a box of 40 stripper clips.
On a preliminary range trip, I was able to put a few rounds through the Springfield at 50 yards (longest range available at the public facility). All rounds were fired off hand, with my best just over 2 inches and my worst just over 5.
Here are a couple photos.
Once I get a chance to get to a facility with a 100 yard range, I'll spend some time shooting from a solid bench rest. I'll update this thread with more photos then and a more detailed range report.
