This weeks purchase: M1917 sporter
I know you guys are thinking this is out of line but I just had to show you this one. I'm not a big sporter fan,in fact this is the first and only one I own. It's a M1917 Remington converted to a sporter and has got to be one of the best ones I've ever come across which is why I bought it. That and the fact it's been pretty slim pickens for anything around here lately so I had to buy something to scratch the itch.
The pics were taken rather quick and don't really show how good it looks in person. The bluing is incredible,deep,dark and glass smooth like a new Browning or Weatherby. The bolt is polished,the stock just right with a nice end cap,the sights are excellent and well done,there are no cut/grind or milling marks from the sight ear removal,no extra holes from scope mounts etc. Bore is brand new,headspace is perfect and the trigger is a perfect 2 stage. Paid $265 out the door.:thup:
