I've handled that same rifle before and didnt know what I was holding until i walked into the LGS a couple weeks ago and found one with something close to a $3500 price tag hanging from it.

Well Compadre,

If I can make it to Quemado this year I'll tote it back. With a couple of boxes of cartridges. We'll try busting the gong with it!!

Back in the early 70's I met an old rancher down by Pincher Creek, Alberta who had an 1895 in .303 British. Don't believe there were a lot made in that caliber. Would be interesting to know what that's worth now.


Not trying to hijack thread bit there were more .303's made than you would think. Both std rifles and SRC's. Here's one in .303 that belongs to a compadre of mine. I did some stock work on this one for him.

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
