    Are the .303 gaining popularity ? Having a resurgance ?
    I think yes, partly on the back of Jacinda bucks, and partly due to folk realising there is a lot of charm / history to these.
    Growing up I spurned the "three oh " relying on levers, and shy of all the information regarding poor safety design ( the reason we are a nation of 1/2 cockers )
    This was probably also due to my hunting mentor only having fingers on his off hand. He could fire and work a lever with his thumb more readily than work a bolt.
    Most govt deer culling had gone by the way side and choppers filled the sky ( ten four good buddy ) as I approached hunting age..

    Fast forward 40 years and I find my interest in them raised, and I can now usually tell the difference from a 3 and a 4. With taking up TR ( full bore ) I keep looking for something unmolested or even in traditional range configuration.
    But dare I say it a P14 would be betterer.
    bumblefoot and rewa like this.
