    Gidday guys and gals
    Much like the last post (perhaps it's a palmy thing) I was brought up to date in that I should introduce myself here. Well as my last post on the for sale part of the forum says I'm a mad 303 enthusiast. Nostalgia, romanticism, love of family heritage who knows but I am what I am. Don't get me wrong though rim's, god who wants those. I'm a novice hunter stuck to goats and hares on private land so far. A more experienced hiker though spending alot of time in the ruahines, albeit on unarmed walks . Have spent some time in alpine environments aswell summiting mt taranaki and ruapehu on some beautiful bluebird winter weekends. I am very keen to escape my partner on the odd weekend forge some friendships and go hunting if anyone's interested. Just btw I'm not restricted just to 303s by the way, I do have a 223 and am currently buying a bsa 7mm rem mag off a family member. Anyway nice to meet you all, if I talked anymore itd be a press conference at 1 with Ashley bloomfield

    Welcome along.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Greetings Sefton,
    Nothing mad about being a .303 enthusiast. I swore of Lee Enfields about 40 yeas ago due to short case life and other ills. Now I have 2 and happily load for them without problems having learnt a bit in the intervening decades.
    Welcome Grandpamac.
