Waterman, have no fear, I will not be mucking up a military-configured rifle. I'm looking for stock lines that a pleasing and a rifle that handles well. The rifles that you guys have been talking about all these years, custom conversions, are what I'm after. The rifle I want can be used hard, but so long as it was well cared for, and has a lot of miles left in her, I'll be okay.
It will be a fun hunt and I'm sure in need of one. The turkeys have been beating me badly this year, so maybe I can bag a rifle instead.
I'm going to look at 1903 and Krags and hold out for one that suits my fancy as it stands without further customizing. Cracked stocks and the like are okay. I can work with those, but I'm not looking for cherry rifle, nor an absolute beater. It's one of those, I'll know it when I see it sort of deals.
It is amazing how much better looking Krags have become in the last few days, since PhyDoc suggested I consider Krags, and Jerry and the rest of you have campaigned for them on this thread. Still got a ways to go though
