Thread: Resurgence of interest in the old "Three Oh"?

The 2 shots at the target were worse.... Balancing the bag on the fence and bending the knees like I was doing a 3/4 squat I just wanted to see how she'd go. The shots in the vid were just me killing a clay bank A proper sight in will be in the next week or so; weather and work depending!

But it definitley looks promising. I'd say the rifle has hardly been used since the FTR was done. The action is super tight

Out of intrest what sort of groups are people getting out of the old girls?
There note really bench rest rifle's and my aging eyes are probably the limiting factor but intrested to know what people are able to achieve.

3-4inches was the specs they were built to achieve.....any better than that is very good going. still a very dead deer at under 200 yards.

No reds where I was. Today was one of those "It it's brown. it's down" days. Just to try the old girl out

I wish that increased popularity of using the .303 translated to more importers and retailers stocking more variety of .311 projectiles

Out of interest, does anyone still make new rifles in .303 ? Or is it simply seen as an old-fashioned and out-dated cartridge and manufacturers need to sell product so...

Uberti do a Winchester 1885 303 reproduction
But in my opinion they got it all wrong with the stock and the modern scope rib
