'new' C&R I Picked up today.....

[Garp]

I saw these on the cover of a surplus rifle magazine a couple years ago and have always wanted one. One popped up locally but the seller wouldnt budge off of $800. Nice, can't wait to take it out this spring. It's one of the Gibbs repro models.

Not bad. Now ya need to buy an original.

Nice, use it in the Vintage Sniper category at the CMP Western Games.

I thought about using it this summer at the vimbar.com shoots, it's between this and the K31.

That would be great to use at the Vimbar shoots. But, I thought they use "vintage." Yours isn't. Sorry, its just that I am a "collector." Please don't take me as being rude. I will say, it does look nice. Whats on the receiver? http://www.gibbsrifle.com/1903-a4_sniper_rifle_.html

Looks sweet but too rich for me these days. Thoses Gibbs are done well and are in a collector niche by themselves. Good luck with that tuned iron. PAX

I've never seen a Gibbs... never even heard of them before now, but that's a very sweet looking rifle!

Original or not - very very nice!

[RugerNo1]

Well damn, that would make a nice Vintage match rifle...add another to the list.

Pre-1950 design, those are the rules.....Congrats your way on a beautiful rifle.

Bring that out to Sac Valley the third Sat of each monthe and shoot the Mil-Surp Prone silouette rifle match 200/300/385/500 meters off of a sandbag rest.

Just as a "snide aside". What does "Authentic Replica" mean? "Real Fake"?

[GillaFunk]

Bla bla bla...real fake..who cares

HOW DOES IT SHOOT??

[McNally M.]

Are these the ones you can get off of AIM Surplus?
