Thanks for your interest, all of you. My rifle is a work in progress. It will be a Lee Speed re-creation on an 1896 Lee Enfield action. The shot- out .303 barrel is on its way to be re- born as a 375-303 with an overall loaded lenght of 2.9" so as to come close to the original 375/2 1/2 NE. I will keep you posted as it progresses
