    No that pistol isn't the only thing under my kilt, but I can tell you both of them work just fine

    I have owned several 303's. over the years. The first one was a No. 5 Jungle Carbine. Loved that rifle. The only rifle with a faster bolt action that I have used was and old Krag. I never had any problems finding ammo. There are a bunch of these rifles around and all the gunshops I frequent have ammo for them. Usually in the Remington brand. That No. 5 was a handy rifle. Short, light, powerfull with moderate recoil. It had a big peep site and was fast on target. It was a good all around woods gun and if you are an expert with a bolt action and keep your head you would not be too handicaped in a fight. The Brits put it to good use for decades.

    well ive never been a fan of bolt action guns but for the price i couldent complain, my deer gun is pump and im left handed so its a bit awkward motion to lower the gun and use my right hand to reload it, but even if i dont shoot it much i will keep it just for its historical value, maby if i get good with it ill use it for blackbear here in pa, its to thick where we chase to have a scoped gun so this would be idea if i can get some practice in with it before bear season.

    I learnt to shoot large calibre rifles with a modified Mk4 SMLE. A few years ago I acquired a Mk3 from NOS. I did my trade apprenticeship at the factory where they were made in Australia. I let it go a few years later and have regretted it ever since. Of course our previous sawn off little dictator (Prime Minister) changed the laws and made it almost impossible for me to keep it anyway, but I would have tried if I still had it.

    One of my favorite rifles I own is an old Russian Mosin Nagant M44. While I've done a little work on it I love the thing and cant see myself selling it for a very long time.
