Sounds interesting. A 303 British rifle was in every home in our region when I was a kid- Y'know with in this Uberti rifle a shooter can take advantage of handloads at modern pressures and could be quite effective. I see brass around here.
Thanks gnoahh, not sure it the poster's comment was towards the Uberti or my rifle
If the comment was aimed towards my Ruger, there are several things that need to be clarified. The first is that I have killed a ton of game with the .303 Brit in the last 50+ years and have flattened everything from beavers to moose with This one. The second is that IF I needed to shoot factory ammo out of it ( which I do not) I can literally get it anywhere in Canada . Greydog built thisrifkle and did an outstanding job. It is repeatable at 200 meters with or without the scope on the QD mounts or irons. The most important thing however is that it was built to MY specifications for ME , and if a person thinks it's a waste of a good rifle , I really don't care . Cat
Don't get the snarky comment " waste of a good rifle " either the 303 British cart was meat in the pot for canadians many years and still sees service in the game fields. Down here we had the 30-40 krag doing the same thing ,then the 06. 20/20 hindsight a-holes allways make me laugh . Mb

Many years ago, in Rhodesia, it was law that every adult man own a .303. Some bought Enfields, some bought Winchester 95s, probably some bought single or double barreled rifles.
This is my version of an English stalking rifle, Farquarson style :>) Cat
This looks like a great rifle! How's about some pics with the lever closed?
Sorry, forgot! I looked and could not find a decent pic with the lever closed, so just took one in the shop. Note the Kepplinger single set as well.. :>) Cat
pabucktail, Greydog did all the work on this rifle for me except for the checkering and the installation of the Kepplinger trigger. I like your lever as well, sets the rifle off nicely . :>) Cat
I like it pretty well too, but have a nice LW in .44 which is plenty for a iron-sighted stalker. Would buy another Henry for scoped use. The new Henry trigger is perfectly usable. Browning/Winchester screwed the pooch by only making their rifle-cartridge Hunter models as heavy High Walls.
The guy who did this video has several Hagns. Have to see them to believe them!
