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

I habve in my cabintet my 1st cntrefire my beloved No4Mk11943 longbrach .303.interestingly Gundoc once did some work for me on this very rifle!
she doesnt get out myuch these days but i lovingly refer to her as my 18' naval gun if nowt else in my armoury will solve the problem a 180gn softnose trundling out of her suppreesed snout generally means me 1 problem zero.
heavy yep stock mods by me.until very recently she wore a Bentley4x40 scope which was of the same vintage (early 80's and interestingly also one of a pair(other 4x28 for my .22) I had richard wilhems recondition and refit with 30/30 reticles. IIRC$70.00 all up Contrary to the call of experts Mr w said they were a decent budget scope for the time and he didnt see any reason not to do the work.
like GD another craftsman lost to our fraternity.
I now have a 7.63x39 B/A also -from my readings Im suprised the ballistics appears uncannily similar.
