THATS IT. I throught I had seen that action before. OK now what model is it I can't find it in any books that I have none of the model in the book says anything about the 1903 action. I just put a scope on it and went outside to the range I have in the back yardand was getting some very good groups at 100 yardseven if it is a cheap scope. I guess it is time to order a new scope for it. Looks like a keeper and for the price how can I lose. Thanks a lot Vapodog
