Yep, It's a 303 & It's old...

Don't destroy it by "sporting" it... those are goting for R1500 all over the show.
Keep it nice & original, Good rifle to have as a piece of history in your safe.

Hallo Stefanm

Thank you for the info.

I have one which I bought for R1500 and had it made sporting to hunt bush pigs with. The rifle shoots very good groupings at n 100m with open sights. If the sights were better like some other 303 I have seen I would have kept it as it was.

Thank you for the information. Will convey the message.

Same as mine. Mine's also got a PF1XXX serial number, and there are many out there. They make good (but heavy) bushveld hunting rifles if kept original, the trigger's really not bad and they're relatively accurate with their own respective loads.
