Hunt up one of the Savage-built rifles. Marked "US Property" and loaned to the UK. Nice rifles and good shooters.
We have one on the shelf that is a commission item, not sporterized and the bore looks untouched but I don't think I want to take it out to shoot it.
LOL..... My grandfather used to own the Dunkin Doughnuts on Lindsey st in Norman back then, I think he sold it some time during the early 90's. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.
I am up to my armpits in guns right now so I can pick and choose which ones I want to take out and shoot. but that is besides the point, it sold Friday and he had to come back because he forgot the bayonet the first time in.
I love my No4. Still my favorite rifle. SGammo usually has 303 ammo at a reasonable rice. http://sgammo.com/catalog/rifle-ammunition/303-british
I have a #1 Mark 3 and a # 4 as well. I havew owned several and all that I have loaded for have oversize chambers. I find that if I don't just neck size the brass doesn't last very long. They do kick like heck for sure.. One of the ones I have now is original and the other has been butchered by putting a rubber recoil pad on it.. Looks ugly from a milsurp standpoint, but guess which one I shoot the most... Blitz
