US M1903 action built into a custom sporting rifle by Bob Gilkey of Northern California during the 1980s. Stock is presumably also done by Gilkey as it is a California classic sporter style with high rollover comb complete with Pachmayr white line spacer vented recoil pad. Although action is a 1903 Springfield, this rifle cocks on closing of the bolt. Mounted with Leupold Vari-X III 2.5x-8x scope. Magazine baseplate is cast with vignette of a running deer in an alpine region with oak leaves on a textured background. CONDITION: Excellent, retaining bountiful amounts of the applied blue finish with carry wear near bottom metal and light handling marks throughout. Stock has large repair near rear of trigger guard in the wrist. Mechanically needs attention as safety does not function properly. Bore is bright with sharp rifling.
