G'day CaptCurl,
when I looked at the pictures of your 303 today you could have knocked me over with a feather!! Yes because its a beautiful rifle, but mainly due to the fact that a Purdey with this lock/underlever arrangement is rare and but even harder for me to believe that I only arrived home last night from a 5 day drive with the brother of your rifle in the back of my car and they are only a few numbers apart.
Alas I do not own it and in a few weeks its owner will come and pick it up. He is a good mate so will ask if its O.K with him to post a fews pics.
It will never cease to amaze me how these things happen. I had never seen a Purdey like these before and now 2 turn up in such a short space of time.
Regards,
Ron.
