Hello everyone new to the community here, looking for guidance if anyone knows if there are options to replace this flimsy plastic trigger guard on the 93R 17 stainless/laminate. I’ve seen trigger guard replacement options for other 93R 17 models but all of those seem to sink into the stock. Whereas this one is plastic and mounted superficially. Everything else on the gun seems upgraded from other models I’ve held, except for this trigger guard.

I guess new guns ship like this. With the bore to match.

303 Savage, built 1905, she cleaned up quite nicely. This nice old lady has some soul.

Bought a axis xp cambered in .308. I intend on using for deer hunting at 100-200 yards hopefully farther when I get more consistent with my shooting. What ammo are you all using to lay down deer at those distances and I also have a can too! I have an sig buck master optic on it right now but I’m not sure if I like it or not, so optic recommendations would be nice too. Is there any mods to do to this beneficial rifle mods it do aswell? Thanks in advance
