Glad I wasn't the only one who wondered that.

You can beat one to a pulp with a Mosin.

Your a good fisherman Mr. Carbine. If I didn't have two in my gun cabinet right now I'd chirp...

 

[Northman999]

Certainly a classic among Canadian hunters.

For all the hunting threads that ask "Is the X cartridge good enough for Y game?", nobody seems to even ask if the .303 British is enough for anything. Just too many people with grandfathers or fathers or who themselves filled the freezer with them for too many years to even ask any more.

I'm a proud supporter of the True King. 1915 SMLE MKIII, bubba'd in the 50's or 60's some time and given to me by my grandfather. Shoots just fine out to a couple hundred meters. Nice modern load with a quality bullet, more than enough gun.

That could be the source of the miscommunication. We're all drunk.

Good old .303's have raked in more game in Canada than you can shake a stick at. I used a SMLE "Churchill" bubba for years on deer. Now I must have 15 or more in my "collection". Great caliber, great rifles, great people who own and shoot them. Simple as that!!

Or even an SKS in 7,62X39

But Alas... the ol' .303 British has been de-throned...















by the much revered SKS 7.62x39mm

LONG LIVE THE NEW KING... SKS

 

[Gatehouse]

As much as I like the 303 British, the 7.62x39 is indeed much more of a world wide King...It's everywhere.

Blasphemy!! Comparing a dirty commie semi to THE Empires' finest bolt.

Yesssssir!

 

[a j cave]

Not much of a king, although I have 5 kicking around. None have been shot in 10 years. Much better & accurate guns. If we had to shoot deer from a mud trench maybe but not now.

 

[none]

It's a good caliber,got a 1942 longbranch myself and i can use the same 150 gr bullets for reloading in my sks

 

[Eagleye]

Don't get much argumant from me. I have a couple of p14's around that I use on a regular basis. Great chambering. Eagleye.
