Ahhh, the .303 ! I knew I had seen that round and it was familiar, just couldn't quite place it. First thought .375 but knew it wasn't big enough. Great selection and enjoyed the game.

It's not one people see a lot I guess. Was a bit of fun anyway and and I reckon people did pretty well.
My Dad had an old bolt action British Enfield .303. It was good a shooter, but heavy with a full surround wooden forearm. My brother ended up with it, and still in good shape. Many days playing with those old rounds in my younger days.
I have an SMLE from WWI...Still shoots although I sort of squint a little...Just in case it blows up and takes my face of...Squinting will make all the difference you know. Lol.
I have the bayonet too...Evil combination, fun to shoot.
The 303 Enfield is one if my Son's favorite rifles. They are easy to find over here, shoot well, and are ballistically like a 30-30, or 7.62 x 39.
♡♡♡♡I just like the feel of their bolt. Longer than many of the current ones, but had a good feel to it. A great short to mid-range rifle. My first rifle to take deer hunting as a youngster. I think maybe my Dad just wanted to wear me out lugging that thing around!
Always good to wear kids out, LOL! It is smooth in operation, and you always know where the bolt is in it's cycle. I have picked up several that have been abused by people with little talent for forearm modification, for free. I'm thinking of restoration but one may just be parts, they deserve better!
They are a classic firearm, and a good hunting rifle.
