    A P14 will do it with target ammo. Mk 7 service was fit for purpose and produced at astronomical rates.
    In this case the bad reputation is mostly due to the state of the rifles being used.

    Modern shooters a spoilt back in the 50' 60's and 70's any rifle that could shoot 4 MOA was considered adequate for general hunting,
    there were some accurate .303's built on P14 actions what stuffed them up was shooting cordite loaded military surplus ammo through them
    only took a couple of those to start eroding the throat, if you find a new .303 barrel don't shoot military ammo through it ,
    My old 2 groove No4 would shoot 1.5 MOA with the right bullet even though it had been shot with surplus ammo,
    nothing wrong with the cartridge just the use of the wrong powder
