Mark, that’s a beauty and you’re in good company. Ernest Hemingway had a sporterized Springfield ‘03 very similar to yours. He bought his from G&H in 1930 and it became his favorite big game rifle. He had so much confidence in that gun that he even took it to Africa and shot rhinos, Cape buffalo and lions with it. If anybody used a .30-06 for that today they would have their head examined but this was the 1930s. Sadly that rifle was stolen from his son Patrick’s house in the 1970s and it’s whereabouts are unknown.
