My two old schoolers...

here is my 03A3... I posted a few pics before I refinished it and put the bipod on. I ordered Lee's 160gr 312 mold yesterday, hopefully it treats me well.

And here is my sexy gun... It's a K98 SN#591, unpeened Nazi proofs abound... It's in a curly claro stock, handcarved back WAY before I was born. It has a Timney trigger and a .243 barrel at the moment. I graduate college this summer, and as a present to myself I am going to rebarrel it in something more cast-friendly, I'm thinking either .338 Federal or 35 Whelen. It had an old Stith scope mount with a B&L Balvar scope which was cracked. The holes that were tapped for it are three different thread patterns, so I'm going to need some interesting work done to put a modern scope on him. Anyway, here's the sexiest rifle I've ever seen...

Very nice, Angus. How do they shoot?

The 03A3 with "safe sex" bullets held nice and tight at 50 yards off a pair of shooting sticks. Once I get the mold it should be really tight off the bipod. The 243 is accurate enough i suppose, but never been what I'd call a tack driver. I'm not sure if it's because of the action, or the barrel being old perhaps, or maybe just me being a terrible shot when I took it out.
