It is a Hart Arms bolt sleeve sight. Here is one of Michael s pictures. This is a later rifle than in the flier that has many of Harvey Rodgers later refinements in the stock.

That is a very fine rifle but hard as I try, I just can not warm up to the cheek piece flowing into the checkering. I love the profile though.

It is hard to really capture the small details in Rodgers work in photographs. But when you handle one of his stocks, you really appreciate his eye for line and detail. Everything is just so sharp and crisp, clean would be a good word I think. And he was not afraid to go against the grain when he felt the urge, such as with the cheek piece. I just wish he had worked for G&H as I believe his stock work was way better than Hart Arms metal work, and better than much of the G&H stock work.

Anyway, back to the original subject of this thread, I believe the rifle is an earlier Hart Arms rifle. The stock is a dead ringer for the ones in the flier. Great find, and a bargain for what the OP paid for it.

I'm with John on this. It's a Dubiel, no doubt!

Thanks to everyone for their input. I certainly learned a lot.
I knew it was more than just an average home sporterized '03 when I saw it. It just has that look to it.
So I wasn't about to walk away w/o it when the opening asking price was mentioned. I'm glad the crowd at the show was more interested in the current production Remington 700's and such and saw nothing in this rifle.

Another short trip to the range this week and a bit of sight adj this time to bring POI to center.
The same WW2 dated AP ammo puts 5 shots touching at 50m from an elbow rest. I've never shot a CF that well w/iron sights.

Kutter,
Good eye on picking out your new prize and I think It's great that with the help of everyone here you were able to identify your 03 as being made by Hart Arms.

John, To set the record strait, Kutter's 03 is "most likely" a Hart Arms rifle stocked by Harvey Rodgers not Dubiel, is that correct?

I would like to see this thread keep going,is there anyone here that would like to post another "unknown"?
Dan.
