A sporter conversion of the old Springfield 1903 turns a service rifle into a deer rifle. It is chambered in .30-06, with a five round capacity listed in the notes.

The notes give the overall length as 45 inches and say there are no accessories, with no case. Capacity is described as a matter for the images, which means the seller wants you to look at the photos and judge the condition yourself. Buying from a dealer near you makes the handover easy, since you can handle the rifle and ask questions before you sign. Ammunition choice matters more than most buyers expect, so try two or three loads and keep the one that groups best.

The Springfield 1903 is a Mauser-derived bolt action with a strong action and a smooth, crisp feel. The sporter style usually means a cut-down stock and an updated sight, and it makes a handy hunting rifle for whitetail in woods or on a field edge.

Because the 1903 action is old, check the headspace and the bore before you shoot. The rifle is sold as described. It ships to a licensed dealer you choose, and the background check is done there.
