A few years ago I accompanied a mate who was headed down to humping and fisting to purchase a new Sako rem mag with a swaro z5 on the top. I was only going because I wanted to see him hand over his life savings for the new rig. On the shelf at the time was a beaten up old 303 for $150, so I bought it mostly because I was feeling like I was missing out on all the fun. My mate bought the most expensive factory ammo known to man while I got given a handful of loose ammo from under the desk that looked like it was made several decades ago.
Off to the range we trotted, and with a spare $300 scope I had lying around (spending twice the value of the rifle on the glass like you old buggers all recommend) I went and shot a 2.5 inch 5 shot group at 100m. Not bad I thought. Even better when my mate could only manage 3 inches with his close to $7k set up!
He did point out that the old 3-0 had potentially dislocated my shoulder but the bruising was worth it!
