Well if I’m pretending I’m gonna pretend money don’t matter as well! Make it a proper frame size Rigby side by side double rifle set up for a lefty. Add a quick detach scope for when I’m using this absurdly expensive rifle from a tree stand after whitetails🤣
Obviously this would all be in a fitted case with full kit

I was hoping you were still around to show off those rifles. I tried to find them, but couldn't remember your username.

How about this one? Just WOW! What a classic beauty. My little brother still hunts deer and hogs with GrandDad’s old sporterized 303 Enfield even though he has several nice “modern” rifles. It’s his favorite. That particular gun came in a a tad under 6 lbs and was a joy to carry around in the African bush.Nice basic hunting rifle!

From the bottom up, let’s hear it!! 👊🏻 I’ll give you my brief attention. Only because I’m deep in your empty head. And it makes me laugh! 😂 You asking for information on building another one of your fantasy rifles, is akin to you being nothing but a tourist hunter posing for years on the Fire that you can actually get it done in the real world of public hunting. 🙄 Here’s a hint. If being a tourist hunter was good for losing weight, Jenny Craig would have called you. Next time you pose for another spectacular moment, where someone had to take you hunting or fishing. Maybe zip your pants. You’re showing that you don’t even have the skill level to do something that was taught at the age 3. Lol 🦫 Why come do the cool kids in middle school thing here? Keep it on the campfire forum and let the rest of us enjoy ogling classic rifles...

Val Kilmer's Lee-Speed in Ghost and the Darkness is a .303 British, as well.

Uberti is making a pretty cool looking falling block 303 that supposedly weighs 7 pounds unscoped. Never saw one in person though.

Because of the type of hunting I do in the South, I have a lot of caliber options to choose from because all of my shots are short to moderate in range. Which is nice because I have a fondness for some of the classic calibers that were more common in my youth. The .303 British is one of those that I have a strong nostalgic bond to simply because that's the round I shot my first deer with. I find that the Hornady 150gr Interlock SP has worked well for me. Well if I’m pretending I’m gonna pretend money don’t matter as well! Make it a proper frame size Rigby side by side double rifle set up for a lefty. Add a quick detach scope for when I’m using this absurdly expensive rifle from a tree stand after whitetails🤣 Obviously this would all be in a fitted case with full kit I have absolutely no reason whatsoever to own a .303 express rifle. Having said that, I'd buy it in the blink of an eye if I saw an affordable one that I liked. And LeftHunter is correct that the fitted case with full kit is an obvious requirement. If I'm spending way too much for a non-essential rifle, I want all of the non-essential bells & whistles that come with it. Uberti is making a pretty cool looking falling block 303 that supposedly weighs 7 pounds unscoped. Never saw one in person though. I like the slender fit and feel of the Uberti 303. I wasn't as fond of the Weaver quarter rib however so I ordered the plain rib for iron sights only. Unfortunately that optional accessory was out of stock ever since the rifle was released (I'm assuming because of the pandemic). But my plain rib finally arrived a few weeks ago. Here's my Uberti with the original quarter rib & my Ruger #1 with a fixed Leupold 6x42mm. Being a right-handed person who shoots left, I do like an ambidextrous falling block.

I like the look of the Uberti, but I'd hope to be able to do something with the grip. Ultimately, it's difficult to argue with the concept of the 30 caliber 303. The only issue with doing this is the concern related to the firing of factory ammo. With a strong action and throating to accommodate the larger bullet, this isn't a real problem. Typically, factory bullets are .310 or less. GD

I'd like to be able to find a plain walnut sporter stock for my MK4 303. With the demise of Bishop Stocks and Fajen Stocks the options without going full custom seem to have dried up.
