I want an american military rifle. Anything from WWI to current. I've researched the M1903-A4 and it looks like a good option for sniper rifles from the WWII era. If I get an older rifle I'll also be looking for equipment from the era that was issued with the firearm.

Can anyone suggest something better or offer any information on it's accuracy? Any rifle I get needs to be a conversation piece as well as a functional firearm.

From my very brief research I've seen reports suggesting it can make a 3.5in group of 5 at 600 meters with the right equipment. That seems pretty dang good to me. I've also seen reports of failed actions due to poor casting in the lower numbered M1903's so I know to stay away from those.

Any information ya'all could provide would be helpful in deciding whether I'm gonna get into this sport or not. ]]> Small Arms and Light Weapons Discussions johnwaynejeep http://www.military-quotes.com/forum/taking-suggestions-new-sniper-rifle-t79123.html
