    I'm thinking at this point all I need to do is a detail cleaning and try it out... Every thing seems in order and working, I just need to get it in the shop and check it in detail...

    I am thinking strippers, pouches and a repro bayo...

    This one's seen better days, definitely not an original, and some screwball sunk a Coast Guard medallion of some sort into the buttstock. BUT, dad's got a ton of good reloaded .303 ammo and hasn't had a beater rifle in a long time. Worst case scenario, he'll have something to complain about and sell eventually.
    Yours looks pretty good, ELC!

    Just found this pic of a few years ago.
    I bought it in the condition you see.
    It's been refurbed by some one for sure.



    303 reloads.

    That is still a hell of a deal... I checked Numrich, you would be surprised how easy it might be to restore...

    Could be.
    No way to verify since I sold it.

    Bought two boxes of S&B .303 on the way home with the rifle. One box 150 SP, one box 180 FMJ and picked up a Winchester 180 SP the day I bought the rifle. The S&B was $21/Box and the Winchester was $39...

    Just looking at the bore & chamber... dust and sharp, shiny rifling... looks hardly fired.

    OK, I suck... Peep site 100 yards, one in the 8 ring, three more on paper and two on the box out of six.

    I didn't think it kicked bad at all... The 180 pushed a little more than the 150... I think I'll stick with 150 for reloads if they group ok...

    My buddy in his thirties held the site wrong and grouped dirt about 1' above the target... LMAO!

    I liked it... might have to get a #4...
