My leeper built Ruger in .303 Brit

[MapleSugar]

That is one beautiful rifle, Cat!

Did you try Federal 180 gr. Power Shok's in it?

I always got great results with them before in .303 British and .30-06 (both with 180 gr. SP's.)

They might make that a sub-MOA rifle with factory loads.

That is a VERY nice rifle! This Fudd likes it a lot.

I have just shot some factory Igman for now, but this is going to be a hand load proposition, for sure.
I normally don't shoot ANY factory stiuff, but have not had the time to work up loads yet.

Well, there's been lots of pic on this site of No1's in 303BR, but THAT! is the niclest one by far....very cool

The lack of a trigger guard makes me thinks an altered #3 not a #1. Nice rifle Cat, I like the barrel band transition.

Yup, No.3 action, but Ii like to refer to it as a no. 2!
Wood is the same as a no.1 however.

Yeah, I'd say you made a huge improvement in that rifle.

Cosmetically speaking of course.

Wanted to see this rifle again, but the pics are gone.

 

[Crashman]

Yes! I don't remember seeing this thread from seven years ago but reading it has really piqued my interest! Would love to see some pictures of this rifle.

It's been checkered since this thread was started....
