Cheers mate @Marty Henry
Im not really a 303 fan however the Winchester action was given to me for free
And it has a very good bsa sporter barrel on it (not a milsurp) so a bit of a Frankenstein but
It’s probably the best 303 barrel ive seen
Hence bothering to restore it as a bush gun
It’s only cost me like $60 in parts
And my time
So its a very cheap rifle
Most expensive part will be getting scope mount bases installed by a gunsmith

But it should shoot well as the bore is certainly very good so worth it

Here’s a photo of the p14 bush rifle

I brought the stock of here but I shorted it slightly and refinished it
Glued a 50c coin into the stock cos why not

I glass and pillar bedded the rifle into the stock aswell

So its ready to go pending a headspace check and a drill and tap jop
