I had a box-stock 1903A3 with which I hunted a few times but never got to take a shot.

My elder son carried my unmodified No. 4 Mk 1 but never had a chance for a shot. I carried same rifle while same son took a few deer with my commercial rifles. He later got a sporterized '03 Springfield. He took one deer in the original callber and later had it rebarreled to .35 Whelen. He's had good success with that old action, but had since moved on to commercial rifles of his own.

I've carried milsurps on many a hunt, but never took game with one.
