I still take my 303, but as a back up now, or in a situation where I would like to use iron sites. Mostly it is because it was my first centrefire rifle, and it is an old friend with which I have taken a lot of deer. About 15 years ago I took it to the range put a target up with a 2 inch bulls eye at 100 yards, and proceeded to put an 8 shot group into that bulls eye with the battle peep site. The gun will still shoot like that but I cant as my eyes need a scope. Dont discount these old warriors because of their looks.
