Which Floats Your Boat more?

You guys Heard of the .303 Askin Bourke?

I only just found out about it in the Woodleigh manual..... a 280rem with a .312 bore for shootin 215grs in.....
 
Having hunted quite a bit with Ruger #1 Rifles, I am very fond of them, and would take the Ruger first.
That said, I have a M94 Reproduction in 38-55, and shot my biggest whitetail with it, so a soft spot
for those as well.
The 303 in a solid, strong action like the #1 gives up nothing to the 308 Winchester, ballistically, and that
makes it into a 400 yard rifle if needed. No contest, really. Dave.

I admire the simplicity of the No. 1, and while it isn't the model in the OP's question, my pre-64 Win 94 32 Special is; lighter, feels to be of higher quality/craftsmanship and is more accurate than my No. 1 303.
 
The Ruger 303 ,actually I just bought one.Also ammo for the winchester 375 has been discontinued and left over stock is hard to come by making almost a hand loading proposition only
