RE: Show 'Em
Redfield scope and rings on a 1903, barrel marked USMC, has been as you see it now since at least the late 60s. Sends bullets down-range, kills deer, good enough for me. Oh, and it spits fire 4+ feet out the end of the barrel but that may be the ammo... I know that may not sound like much to some people but compared to my Enfield which has very little muzzle flash this things a beast.

Not a sniper rifle you say? Well, I'm doing 4 inch groups on average at 200 yards with the flip-up kneeling with it resting on a stump, not perfect but considering the ammo and age of the rifle...
All original, non matching numbers but they all trace back to India and 1944 so that's close enough for me.

That Enfield No4(T) made me cry just a little. I just sold my No4Mk2 a month or two back due to funds.
Someday I'll have another, though I doubt I'll ever have the funds to put towards an accurate No4(T) like yours!

Re: Show 'em
Arcticlight - no, it's not a Mitchels Mauser, it is from Ed Silva at Miltech in California. Original byf41 Oberndorf production, all matching numbers - not a Yugo or Russian Capture. Can really recommend Ed's work if you are looking for an "as issued" refurbed sniper project. PM me if you need more. Scope mount is a repro (but great quality). Just picked the rifle up from my smith in the UK today after he has fitted the new 1941 WaA655 vintage stock Ed found for me recently. PM inbound on the repro stock. Here it is now:

Re: Show 'em
PDD,
Good morning.
The commemorative was a little disappointing at first. I bedded it, put about 200 rounds thru it and now it's a hammer.
The M40a1 has 20 rounds thru it. @ 230 yards, it did an 1-1/8" 5 shot group with FGMM.
The 1903A4 shoots 1" to 1-1/8" with 1st handloads.
The 1941 shoots 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" with 1st handloads.
I haven't shot the M70,M1D or M24.
The M24 is an Eric Reed built gun.
Best,
Trilogymac

Re: Show 'em
My M41b and CG63 Swedes. I used the M41b at our monthly LR tactical rifle matches for 2 years till we added a small CBS target. A 4x scope just wasn't enough to guarantee a hit on a 1 MOA target every time. On the other hand, it was accurate enough that I could consistently finish in the top 20% every month. Now I just use it in a military rifle silhouette match in the scoped rifle class, and in a vintage military rifle long range match I started running this year.
So I switched to the CG63. It started out as a target rifle with aperture sights I shot in prone matches, then I scoped it for our Tactical rifle match. I used it in the very first TBRC and finished in the top 10. I bring it back out once in a while to humble people.
View through the scope at 800 yards. Those who have shot the TBRC will recognize the targets.

A 4x scope just wasn't enough to guarantee a hit on a 1 MOA target every time. On the other hand, it was accurate enough that I could consistently finish in the top 20% every month. Now I just use it in a military rifle silhouette match in the scoped rifle class, and in a vintage military rifle long range match I started running this year.
So I switched to the CG63. It started out as a target rifle with aperture sights I shot in prone matches, then I scoped it for our Tactical rifle match. I used it in the very first TBRC and finished in the top 10. I bring it back out once in a while to humble people.
View through the scope at 800 yards. Those who have shot the TBRC will recognize the targets.
