Several months back I located another sporterized 1903. It took me a while but I finally got someone on the phone at Cabela's (they are not as helpful as my local Cabela's here in FTW). The gentleman I spoke to complained every step of the way, admitting I was lucky he wasn't busy but complained when I wanted to know what markings it had on the barrel, since the photos are not very good. It seemed to be a pain when I asked if he could put his hands on the rifle.
The seller told me he didn't have his glasses and can't see very well but did confirm there was a Circle with an 'S' inside of it near the caliber. I did ask if there was any other markings on the barrel but was brushed off and basically hung-up on when I inquired further about the scopes condition.
Would any of you fine people be able to tell any more info from the photos provided? I do not intend to purchase yet as I believe it will hit clearance in a few more months so I'll save my pennies if it is still there.
