Remington 1903

Anyone here know a ton about them? Buddy of mine is helping clear out an estate and offered up a sporterized 1903 in 300 h&h

Cloned Mauser action, being a Remington its plenty safe to shoot. Depending on who and how it was sporterized they can be worth a decent amount but on the average they're 300-600 id imagine. I've got 3 in military dress (one was sporterized that I reverted) and theyre some of my most fun rifles I own to shoot. Im still on the hunt for a 1903a4 to round out my collection.

Me too. Mine was made in 1922. My Grandfather bought it from NRA in 1950 and gave it to me . I made the stock. I've killed a ton of elk, deer and 2 moose with mine.

I only own one and it’s a left hand converted 1903. From what I understand there are specific serial numbers to watch out for as they weren’t heat treated correctly and can crack. Also I would imagine that action has been pretty heavily modified to fit the 300 h&h. The bolt face would have to be opened up and completely different magazine box, follower and bottom metal used to accommodate such a long cartridge. Plus the bottom and top of the action would have been opened up I assume? I have heard of it being done but it wasn’t a small amount of work to get there

I would love to see pics if you buy it

It is an 03A3. They had different floorplates. It has a very high serial number, mine starts with 129 and my Dads is only 6 numbers.
I checked the serialization chart and yours was made in 1942.
