Springfield 1903 MKI - 1920
My grandpa recently passed this down to me, in hopes that I'd use it for deer hunting. After doing a little research I'm not sure I want to. It's so nice, and to scope it, I'd have to mess it up (in my mind) by removing the Lyman sight, drilling, tapping, grinding the bolt down, etc.
So I'm wondering what you guys think...should I leave it as-is? Or would it be worth scoping and mounting with?
Also, anything else you could tell me about the rifle would be great.
I know the receiver and barrel are matching, made in 1920. The think the bolt is Remington from WWII? Stock is a Bishop.
