What a coincidence! My fine example of this rifle was on the table at a local Collectors meet just last night! Its chambered for the .303 British cartridge.

Funny anecdote: when I first acquired that rifle many years ago (before Google), my Dad and I spent about a day and a half trying to figure out how to remove the bolt from the action.
Those of you who own one will likely sympathize...

While I am unashamedly an Anglophile when it comes to sporting rifles, I really like the 1899 Remington Lee in its sporter configuration.

...and I had no idea so few were made! We should feel very privileged.

Keenly awaiting pics of your resto progress, fjrdoc.
