Here is a .303 story for you, not a hunting story but a purchase story.
1977 I think, saw a Lee Enfield advertised in the Bargain Finder for $20.00
Called the number, a Cochrane number. Lady said it was a #4 MK1* Longbranch made. I said I'm on my way.
Found the house not far from the river, one of those little tiny houses that are now long gone.
The rifles front wood had been cut back, but everything else looked good.
I said "I'll take it" and handed her a 20.
She says "But wait, don't you want to try it first ?"
Puzzled, I ask "What do you mean?"
She says , "Shoot it"
I say "Where"
She says, "In the basement of course, my husband shoots it all the time"
