My dealer only took it because he knew I'd buy it right away. It never even went on the shelf.

It certainly is a fine looking specimen..
Can you clarify, the rail (mount) appears to be only attached at the far rear ?????

3x3 shot factory ammo groups, POI roughly the same as bore sight, looks like the problem solved

my impression is that you have a very good rifle there that will do what you want
the precision is plenty good enough for shooting pigs, deer ect...better than a lot out there
l would own and use your rifle no worries :thumbsup: :drinks:

Just out of curiosity, the old 303 appears to be making a comeback and starting to cost big dollars in some cases.

Their getting pricy in good condition... not that long ago you could still pick one up as new, still wrapoed in its wax paper. My LGS seems to get a fair few through the doors around the $200 mark in poor condition up to $1200 for a very tidy one with the right numbers on it.
I'll definitely grab one some day.
