@bumblefoot you are a very bad man for drawing my attention to that rifle. The only thing that may save me is that it is a far too pretty rifle to take in the bush. Still good to know that there are still some rifles chambered in .303 Brit. The Winchester 1885 may have been chambered for it during its life, I know that the 1895 and the Remington rolling block were.
Regards Grandpamac.

pretty sure I know where a sadly neglected winchester 303 is...one day may just have to chase that up...there is photo of one in Philip Holdens wild pig book I seem to recall.
