Snapped this up in the classifieds cause it satisfied the long desire for an affordable scoped hunting C&R in a caliber that I reload. It was from a trusted seller so it was a no brained for me. Maybe the seller can post any stories he has with this rifle.
I took it to the range after looking it over and running a patch. Shot with some rounds he gifted to me. Let it cool then shot my reloads (edit: it was 1970's HXP surplus, not my reloads) I run for my Garand which also shoots well on paper with my 1903a3. Without tuning any loads it shot a 3/4” group of 4 rounds at 50 yards from the bench with 3 touching. It might shoot better if I had a target with a more defined center or had put a dot in the middle. It has a more modern Bushnell Banner scope on it right now which I think is fine for hunting.
4 digit no prefix serial number.
So far all my research supports the sellers belief it was built in or about 1957. Research saying they started at 1000 so its the the 91st model 110 ever built.
EDIT: Interarms boxes are NOT the ammo I was gifted, those were closed up after shooting the Argentine Mauser I also had with me
