    If you want a .303 only buy one you can see in person they may look nice on the out side but if it has been fed a diet of mil-sup ammo the barrel could be stuffed I spent a long time looking for
    the one have the barrel is quite good but I looked up a few sewer pipes before I found it, the last factory .303's from Parker Hale and BSA were made in the early 1960's from actions made in the 1940's
    and they have been shot with mil-surp ammo so the throats are worn, if you want a target rifle I think you will be disappointed but for hunting in the bush the .303 is still a viable option,
    the one on TM is to pricey I payed $325 for a BSA sporter from a gunshop it was the best of 4 that they had, best bet go to the gun shops in your area and look at all the .303's on the shelves
    sooner or later you will find a good one get the gun shop to run a clean patch or 2 through the barrel most are full of gunk and need a good clean
