Thread: Resurgence of interest in the old "Three Oh"?

@grandpamac For me, the old rifles and particularly the 303 is that they have character and an iconic NZ history. I love my little 223, but now reach for the 303 more often. What I've found interesting is that the "birthday hunt with my 303" YouTube video I posted a couple of months ago has already gone through 19k views and will do 20k by next week. That shows me that there is still a lot of interest in the 303. And; the vid was just me shooting a goat for the freezer; nothing exotic!

Greetings @bumblefoot and all.
I think for me it is the association with people I know or more often these days have known. The current .303 of interest was given to me by a friend who can no longer hunt. It will also be a rough copy of my first ever rifle bought in the late 1960's. More info will follow with pictures even.
Regards Grandpamac.
