My preface for shooting fun would be; First, Garand Next, 03A3 and Last the Springfield 03. The M1 is more fun by a long shot (no pun intended). Like other has pointed out the sights are better on the 03A3. Also, I feel the Model of 1917 is more fun to shot than the other two bolt actions. The Model of 1917 will hold 6 rounds in the magazine so less reloading.
