The M1903A3's may have been, as a group, the most accurate military rifle ever made. I have owned several and fired many and all were tack drivers. Many had two grove barrels but those were just as accurate. I have never seen any explanation for it; maybe it was the lack of the rear sight band or something else but they all shot well. In fact there was one rumor that the A4 sniper rifles were picked for accuracy from batches of A3's, but that was not true since the A4 had the receiver markings to the side so the mounts wouldn't cover the serial number. (The marking still said ""A3" though.)
