Dis in an Enfield.... ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/017_17-2.jpg) That thing is hideous. What kind of rifle is that? Travis I almost choked on my coffee! Forgive him Ingwe...for he doth not know what he sayeth.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Jorge: actually it made a light, pleasant to carry and use rifle. Came in at 6.5 lbs all up, and killed schitt just fine. A PH I ran into in Zim and I were talking about it and the only rifle he had in his hands for his first lion charge was a .303...he made it work, but remarked " I nearly shat myself!"  I nearly did that yesterday, but no lion was involved... Morning, all.
It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...
Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.
Stupidity has no average...

It shoots a slow, low BC bullet in a slow twist ( Ill bet) and I cant hit stuff with it much past 800 yards....so its nothing you'd be interested in Tuner... Plus it has one of those awful wooden stocks.....

I've been looking for a Lee-Speed for years. Right now I found an M1895 in 303 (only one I've ever seen) that shoots very well, I can hold an easy 2"@100 or a bit better. I've loaded some 215gr Woodleighs@ 2200 for old times sake, but it shoots factory Rems 174gr or handloaded 150gr Hornadys very well too. Planning on taking it to Texas this fall for hogs..
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Poobah, Jorge and Stu, forgive these kids for they are ignorant. They seem to be bright so there might be some light at the end of the tunnel, have patience.
I know a fella what chitt his knickers during a rocket run in a Cobra, but that's as close as I ever came to that. I was in a different bird. Cobras have an enclosed cockpit. Poor phouc in the back seat....
I am..........disturbed.

This is just the first of three trips...you won't have old Ingwe to kick around too much for awhile..... But then again, who will dispense wisdom so freely to you???

DD, This is hilarious........it needed exposure on the BTE. She's cute, obviously game and even left the CFM shoes on - what's not to like? I'd say the dude needs his mancard pulled, but then again, he prolly didn't have one to begin with...

I had a '95TD in '06. Generous bore, even more ginormous chamber, cases came out like snausages. Maybe I should've tried .303 bullets in it?
