The Lord Lovat, *Shimi* Fraser, OC of the Brit. Commandos at the magnificent raid on Dieppe, where so many Canadians died and many more came home wounded, had what has been described in the abundant literature on that battle as *his Winchester sporting rifle* which may have been a .303 and in the photos appears to be a bolt action.
I don't know for sure, but, a man with his connections and influence could certainly have had such a rifle made for him.
I would LOVE to have an original P-64 in .303, what a neat piece that would be!
