RE: .303 British
My uncle Bob, who passed away 3 years ago at the ripe old age of 83, used an Enfield #4 - 303 Brit. He told me he gave something like $15 for it way back when at J.C. Penny's in Little Rock, Ark. and had the kids in the local HS shop "sport" the stock for him for free. I guess he hunted with this rifle for nearly40 years, taking dozens and dozens of deer and several feral hogs.When he turned about 55, he had a gunsmith drill and tap it for scope mounting. His eldest son has the rifle now and it is a real family treasure. Beat to heck and back, but still shoots fine. A special thing to those of us that hunted with Bob, for what seemed like forever, is that he was hunting with us only a week or so before he died. And he killed a 10 pt. buck that weekend that we have since named "Bull Winkle" because it had a thick, stubby, palmated "moose" looking rack.Even set sort of flat.
