I've had several 303 British. Just have a single smelly now. The rifle is accurate and has similar power as the 308 and the 8x57 mouser (AKA Killer of mice).

My smelly is never going to have a scope on it while I own it. It is a back up rifle and it sits over the rear entrance door-way most of the year with suitable for deer or varmint loads in it. I kinda like it there.

I prefer classic.
