The 303 lee enfield
When I was a kid growing up, a childhood friend was going to his first family hunt. His Dad got Mike a Lee Enfield NO.4rifle for the hunt. One Saturday Mike's Dad took Mike and me to the range to show Mike how to operate and shoot the rifle. It was for Mike and me, our first experience with a high-powered rifle. After showing us the rifle and how to operate it, Mike's Dad gave us some ammo and let us go at the targets. That rifle made a big impression on me. Today I have 5 Lee Enfield rifles and I do enjoy them. People who don't know what is what, may look down their nose at the Lee Enfield and the 303 British round. But the British round compares quite favorably to the 300 Savage and 308 Win. and will handle 215 Gr bullets better than either the Savage and Winchester rounds. Deer, Elk, Large Black Bear will go down to the British rounds just as they will with more modern rounds, and will punish your shoulder less
