Sorry I just don't get the what all the fuss is over shooting 100yr old rifles that sucked the day they left the factory???? Like most British inventions they were a piece of over rated s**t right up there with the Leyland P-76,I know I'm going to hear how great they were from some of you but sorry their just a inaccurate heavy trite piece of last century s**t IMHO
the only reason we had to use this thing is our worthless Generals(mostly british hacks) had their heads right up right royal Lord Someone's Ass
We should have gone with the yanks and got rid of it and used the 30-06
Bring it!!!!!!

As with your story they can't seem to shoot worth a pinch of piss but if you change the rules then no one else stands a chance !!I'd say the average winning group @ QMRC would be 3" @ 100m with their precious 303's and were shooting under 1/2" but this weeks shoot is restricted to 4 power scopes ,,I see your using 6 power sorry your out!!! Nice guys but as you pointed out it's supposed to be fun but when the same old c*** keep cheating every week it sure wears pretty thin!!!!!!
Never was and never will be a fanboy of the 303

There is also an objective size limit of 40mm which trips up a few but in anything I have organised there is a LOT of leeway allowed as we don't have the numbers down here to be too fussy. Sure if someone wants to hop in with a DTA and a 24x scope I am going to ask him to set it at 4x but as long as it is in the spirit of things who cares and most, not all, blokes with "tactical" rifles them can't shoot for sh i t unless it is off a bench anyway.

Not everyone is going to love military calibres or get what it is all about, that is life and I just go out to enjoy myself.

If you want to use your hunting rifle in competitions, join the QRA, or the SSAA, if you believe that you need the latest barrel, action, stock, high powered scope and whiz bang ammo to win because you're too old, or set in your ways to learn a new skill set, again join a club that caters to your needs. For those of us who don't care that our old military rifles can't shoot better that 3 moa, and lets face it they weren't built to, have plenty fun, especially at the expense of those d***heads who show up with a .5 moa rifle to shoot at a three foot bulls eye, where's the feck is the skill in that!!!
