I have a scoped 303 and it had to be restocked to get my eye up to the scope. I went from a B-square mount which was rock solid but really high to a ATI mount, not has tall. Just put the ATI mount on and tried it out yesterday. It can shoot 2 inches at 100 all day if I do my part with the hold and the loads so far the ATI mount has held zero but has not taken the beating that B-square took. This rifle likes the flat base 150's but not boat tails? A scoped 303 should take deer to 150 yards no problem. I agree the 303 is a rimmed 300 Savage. I have both, recoil is about the same ballistics, Real close, Both are true Classic killers. Love taking my as issued NO1 Mk3 303 hunting I know it will work under ALL conditions plus I can sick the 15 inch byonet on the front to scare'em to death! I hate having old eyes it will suck not taking my Aussie No1 girlfreind with the big knife for a stalk in the woods. Oh well the plastic stocked scoped NO.4 will do just as good plus it's lighter.

I have a restocked MK V Jungle Carbine that I use in bad weather. Load 180 Sierra Game Kings for it. I really like the sights and the quick bolt.

Cut the Bbl...installed front ramp sight and barrel band swivel,drilled flat side of reciever for a Williams Foolproof,ordered the wood from a gunstock company I refuse to reccomend to anyone, and rasped it out on an H&H pattern I scrounged up somewhere...ebony forend tip, steel grip cap, English red pad, simple checkering pattern, and matte finished the metal..used an almost flush five shot mag... heres another pic older campfire members are tired of seeing by now...  ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/017_17-2.jpg) Ingwe

I'm pretty sure it was a Williams Foolproof...critters were taken from 60 yds....on a jackal and the Impala out to about 160 yds on a huge Gemsbok bull...

That rifle is the bane of my existence. I am so going to do that when I feel like I am flush with money.

They certainly can be made into nice handling, exceedingly quick to operate, and not at all bad looking rifles Like this one recently completed by Lon Paul ![[Linked Image]](http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk168/Grizskins/348-1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk168/Grizskins/348-3.jpg)

I used one for my first 3 years deer hunting. The gun was kind of a POS, but I like the round. It shoot completely through the deer I shot with it and made it dead. Can't really ask for more than that can ya?

Ingwe, that is by far the finest looking Brit .303 I've ever seen.
