Take the 303. Show people you have a set of balls. After all to going hunting with that gun you'll need them, big brass coated titanium ones....
Seriously, take the 303, show people you are individual enough to use what you want. I mean considering some of the people in this thread own Rem 700s, Savages, and A bolts, you have nothing to be ashamed of in that 303.

Besides, it will be a great conversation starter, I mean compared to some rube with the latest whizbang 270, you'll at least have something unique....gawdy, but unique.

By the way, can I interest you in my Lee Enfield cribbage board program??
 
How many hours of wonderful thinkering and labor hours did it take this individual gunnutz to create this stock for the 303 British ? Even the muzzle brake appears to be handmade. Did it take him months for finish his fine project ?

If we consider the time it took him, perhaps 30-50 hours, to make and finish this gun stock project, and let say that someone bought this gun for $ 150.- today, it will be a real steal for a piece of canadian folk art, and clearly underprices, because so few of us understand the value of canadian folkart, and in the case of older gun stock folk art, has not been discovered by art collectors, and mosts shooters in these fine pages prefers a good looking Swede, over a 303 British with carved canadian folk art.

If we gunnutz do our part and start to appriciate and collect these fine pieces of canadian folk art and Canadiana, they will go up in value, as well as become fine conversations pieces that also shows the collectors have a fine taste of past, canadian hunting history by preserving and caring for this fine piece of Canadian hunting legacy.

Thanks, Snow Hunter.......just thanks.:mad:
Here we were convincing Philistines like Tod that it wasn't worth having and keeping the prices down for knowing souls such as yours truly.
And now you have to go and push the prices up.:eek:
You fill a vault with such items before you preach the value of them!:rolleyes:
Geez, how will I ever stay a tight arse if "helpful" folks like you are around.:confused: :p :D
 
kombi, this is supposed to be "insider" information of these hot "stocks", and if you are quiet about it, you should have trouble picking up few of these stocks before the prices of go up 1000 points :)

Now you understand.... I am doing the Gun Gods work turning Lee Enfields into Crib boards :eek:

Come over to the LIGHT Mike.... :)
 
After reading this post, I must get to work with my dremel on my Remington. I always thought the factory checkering was boring anyway...

(Yes my pretty, you'll be a thing of horrible beauty...)

What!!! you don't like my No5 Jungle carbine super bubba....:(

The brake was built by PGW (worth about 4 times the total gun)But works great....Zero felt recoil...You can see bullet impact in the scope...and it's a tac driver at 100 yards....
The stock was done by a master craftsman....It was his life work...In his spare time after he was done checking his traps....But he died before he finished:rolleyes:
I ended up with this stock after quite a few drinks with Camk....seemed like a good idea at the time:cool: There is a long story behind this rifle;)

Here's a few more pics:D

But did you get an Elk?


I think we need to bring the stock back to the shop ...I want to do some gold leaf gilding to the unfinished parts:D:p
 
i went with the swede, not because of the caliber, but beccause of the ACTION- i've seen smle's FREEZE or their firing pins move so slow that they wouldn't punch the primer in -30 weather,( farenheight) and the shot is lost- you can get those temps in manitoba, esp around the pas/thompson,or well, just about anywhere

Some one did not degrease their action!:rolleyes::p
 
I picked the Swede also. Far better caliber IMHO.
Don't get me wrong, I love Enfields, but come on not over the Swede cartridge. :)

Also...interesting .303 rifle. :p :D
