Short version, the next rifle I want to pick up is a bolt action .30-06 to go along with my Garand. But we've got two that were US service rifles, and lots to learn about both of them.
So folks who know them, please educate this boot about the variants of the 1903, comparisons with the 1917, and why I might look for one over the other.
I'll be looking for a shooter, with some collector value (but that's secondary), and beyond that I'm kinda stumped.
I like the action on the later British Enfields, haven't handled the 1917 or many of the 1903s, but that's the extent of it. Never taken any of them to the range, and not sure what my budget will be (less than $1000, though).
So please, edumacate me!
