The amount of 303`s over here is staggering !.
Everyone seems to have one for kicking about the bush.
A mate of mine has got a few, I seen about 10 different ones he`s got, and I`m pretty sure he`s got a few more kicking about;but he does have a couple of rather nice ones.
He`s got the last one he used in the N.Z army, (himself, his father and his grandfather were all snipers, pc term is marksman in the army) thats a nice little rifle.
He`s got 2 with high class makers names on them, Churcill and Rigby, they have been sporterized and I have to say, they are beautiful rifles !
He`s got another one too, I will have to get the full info off it, but it was sporterized for someone a few yrs ago, and it is a beauty, original pecar scope, quick release mounts etc etc.He`s been trying to do some research on it on this `net thing, and one was sold in U.S.A for $10,000,but the bloke wont sell his, as a grt mate of his gave it to him a few yrs ago, as he knew he like the 303.
You can buy one here in a gunshop for about $nz 100.
I was doing a job with excavator in a river the other day, and the week before the cops pulled 3 x303`s out of the river. I did ask them if they found a Marlin or a Heym give me a call
