Definitely some nice 03-A3s. The A4s are a bit more scarce though. There still marked as A3s but it is offset so that the scope mount doesn't cover it.
Pretty sure it's more accurate than me. The 2.5 magnification scope is a challenge.
Only shooting at 50 yards right now. Waiting on the barrel to cool again.
Those savages normally go for a lot less than $1500, but I'm not surprised that bass pro had something priced that high. Also I'm pretty sure the adjustable choke was added on by someone later. I don't think they had those when they used them for training.
Got to take it out again this past Sunday, I was able to install the new barrel myself, and rented a pull through reamer to finish ream it. This is the first five shots out of the new barrel, and then 30 more rounds on the second target at 100 yards. I ended up with 50 fire formed cases, and...
I cleaned it when it first came in the mail, it was pretty grimy from storage. I've been periodically wiping it down with a 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits as it looks dry.
I'm very pleased with how it turned out, can't wait to get it installed on my A4. It was a new old stock barrel, and I still had a container of the old grease that it was packed in left over from when I originally got the barrel. I'm gonna let it sit coated in it for awhile.
All greased up...
More pictures, couldn't sleep last night so I finished fitting everything. Pretty happy with the cut out for the bolt, looks pretty close to a real one I think.
Making progress, still have to fit a few things though. Need to oil the stock some more too I think, I've been using 50/50 mineral spirits and boiled linseed oil.
