Today we’re looking at three different books on the 1903 Springfield rifle. Which one is best for you? That depends on what you’re looking for…
If you want a good reference book, I recommend Canfields’s:
If your interest is more focused on shooting and competition, you will be better off with Campbell’s work:

My recommendation is definitely Brophy’s book. If you are after the technical and historical facts, you will not be disappointed.
