I think the weight might be an advantage!
I have a peep on my 9.3x62 and find it remarkably good Scrummy |

Hey Scrummy, you could get a P14 which is .303
I'm not sure why there is a nostalgia for Lee Enfields or the .303 in a bolt action - I just don't see the attraction. The attraction is that the Lee Enfield was supposed to be the best battle rifle of WWI. When you compare it against the G98 Mauser and the 1903 Springfield, it was the better rifle for trench warfare. Of course that 10 round magazine and fast to work bolt action was a big plus over it's 2 main competitors. The Lee Enfield would be great to have against an attacking horde of wolves or coyotes |

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Good idea Bud. That way you can cull the ones you don't like and leave the ones you do.

I think lots of manufactures have missed a trick with some of the old rimmed cartridges. Both Bergara and Henry make single shot rifles but they tend to be in things like .223 rem .243 and .308W. Why they don't make single shot rifles in .303Brit, 7.62x54r for the Prvi / former com bloc makers of those rounds? Or in the great European chamberings 5.6x57r, 6.5x57r, 7x57r, 8x57r, 9.3x74r? Bergara is a Spanish maker... A guy posted on a UK hunting forum posted saying his Bergara in .308W that a casing had stuck so hard it had to go back to a gunsmith... Why do they bother with rimless rounds in break actions? Just boggles my mind... Forgot to add, 7x65r! Edited by Scrumbag - May/01/2018 at 03:03 |

I picked up a M95 Styer in 8x56R for my small straight pull collection. I thought about getting another one and change it over to a rimless cartridge, drop it in a different stock, and top it with a long eye relief scope for a brush rifle, but after shooting the 8x56R I think it's fine the way it is.
