Gibbs or Creedmoor 1903A4 Sniper Rifle

Re: Gibbs or Creedmoor 1903A4 Sniper Rifle

Gibbs is gone, sold out to James River Armory. I guess after all the bad press they got about those early (POS) scopes, maybe it's a good thing.
Creedmore is good to deal with, I bought one from them awhile back with the Criterion barrel.

Wow. This is news to me. I was always told the 1903a4's sold at creedmoor were gibbs made reproductions. Yea like everyone is saying, go with James River Armory. I have personally seen these rifles shoot pretty good. I plan on going this route when I get the money.

Gibbs needs to take down their website then.

The current Gibbs A4 has the improved 2nd gen scope. If a guy buys one he needs to make sure hes getting the newer scope or a good discount. Gibbs has a "trade-in" for the old ones.
 
Re: Gibbs or Creedmoor 1903A4 Sniper Rifle

I've not bought rifles from them but I have bought plenty of gear from Creedmore.

Dennis DeMille answers the business phone and with his shooter cred/reputation I think if you experience any issue Creedmore will make it right.
 
Re: Gibbs or Creedmoor 1903A4 Sniper Rifle

I'd vote neither. I'd never shell out the kind of jack required (last time I looked they were north of $900) when I could put one together myself for much, much less. My DIY project started with a sporterized 1903 and ended up a CMP legal Vintage Sniper for about $350 (less the scope). Nothing replaces the satisfaction of doing it yourself.

Here's the story . . .
