U.S. Rifle M1903a3 "03-A3" to 500yds: Practical Accuracy
Added 2020-11-12 17:25:27 +0000 UTCThe U.S. M1903A3 was an improvement over the M1903 rifle with a rear aperture sight that was faster to produce during wartime. The "re-chambered Mauser" was a common sight in the Pacific Theater even up till the 70's when the U.S. Navy finally retired them.
Since it's employment, the M1903A3 has been a crowd favorite at CMP / NRA service rifle matches for it's excellent sighting system, but how does it do on our field? Why does Henry not prefer the front sight? Find out for yourselves.

Your post regarding the NM M1 Garand in 308 warmed my heart Paul. I too owned a Garand once upon a time only in the usual 30-06. Being a baby boomer with a father who was WWII Army and again having been an owner in a past life I do have a soft spot in my heart for the M1.
2021-03-22 23:46:06 +0000 UTCI have a NM M1 Garand in .308 and it is very accurate. I don't have a course like you have to test it out to 500 but it's very good at 200yds with my old eyes.
