Took the old .303 out for a walk today. 107 years old and still filling the freezer. The rifle, not me... :D Yeah I know "only goats"; but a sure source of protein for sure...

That's around 2" group, the dark square outlines are 1" The stick-on dots on the target are the small ones :)

My 1916 girl regularly shot like this when I sighted it in with PPU 150's . I think it all comes down to how poked the barrel is. Also; I used a 3-9x scope. My eyes aren't good enough for irons or...

Could you put an R18 XXX rating on that please? To much for my old ticker..... :D

grandpamac My mate in Aussie just sent me this. It's not very high resolution, but interesting. I didn't know they re-barrelled .303s to .375?

I have people look at me like that too. But who cares eh? :)

Here's a little vid I did of my first hunt with the 1916 girl in case anyone has a lazy 8 or so minutes :) No big stags/bucks, but a fun hunt

"Many will wonder why I bother with an old relic" People have often said that about me..... :D

shift14 That's awesome!!! :)

Took the 106-year old girl out for a walk the other day. Been a heap of pigs out, but think the pig hunters beat me to them. Waited til dark, but no luck. Nice to take the rifle for another walk...

grandpamac For me, the old rifles and particularly the 303 is that they have character and an iconic NZ history. I love my little 223, but now reach for the 303 more often. What I've found...

Definitely. It really amazes me how well it shoots :)

I will try the socks for sighting in. It's in too nice condition to alter the stock. I'm stoked with how well she shoots though

Spent the afternoon sighting in the old .303 . Absolutely stoked the way the 106 year old girl shoots. Averaged 3 inch, 3-shot groups at 100 yards when I did my job correctly, and even a couple of 2...

A real short vid of the first shots through my new girl :) I've fallen for an older lady called Lee..... Lee-Enfield..... :D

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 feel like it some days ;)

Well the old girl delivered the goods today. 106 years old and still filling the freezer :)

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 :D I just wanted to see how she'd go. The shots in the vid were just me...

grandpamac Finally put a few rounds through the old girl!

Actually; looking again, it's closer to 1" Here's a short vid of the first shots out of the old girl.

Well I took my new/old girl out to the farm to stick a few shots through her. I just bore sighted it and fired 6 shots. The last 3 I fired at a 30m target to get a rough idea what she was shooting...

grandpamac Awesome. I haven't even had time yet to put a shot through my new/old rifle. How dare work get it in the way of fun ;)

grandpamac I used to use them in my SMLE. No goat, pig or deer ever walked away. I've been trying to source a box or 2 but every store is out Cheers :)
