So this is my short list of proper single shot 303s

A British proofed 1885 Winchester

A Remington Sporting #5 Rolling Block

A Field's Patent falling block

Any other 303 single shot with exposed hammer can join the list

Ok I will bite ( well nibble a little really as I am in both camps) Wot about a Henry in 308, they look ok but not had a fondle.

Same
Several people have asked my opinion of them and I have had to say I haven't had a proper look yet

But on account of them not being old and needing tinkering with they don't get my going

This was today's project to get the front one of these 44 1/2s scope fitted
Much more interesting and challenging
