I love/hate my heirloom sporteized '03A3.
Love the history. Love that my wife's grandfather got it through CMP for a song and customized it, and killed a lot of deer with it. Loved that my wife's dad chose me to receive it, rather than his son. Love how it shoots. Not free floated, but I have shot it enough to compensate for a warming barrel over 10 rounds- over 8 inches of change, in two axis. I have DOPE on those first 10 rounds a dozen times over.
Hate the feel of the beautiful well carved custom stock. Hate that 150gr is the only bullet it likes.
Based on observations, any elk providing his/her vitals within 500 yards will likely fall over dead...Into my freezer.
I love, love, love loving this despite its flaws and shortcomings...something almost three decades of marriage taught me about the other love Herself's father gave me...
