I just got my Lee Speed back from the gunsmith. It cleaned up very well and after inspecting it the smith said it was in great shape. I got a box of .303 and test fired it when I got home. I was pleasantly surprised by the low recoil and smooth feel of the rifle when it fired. I will take it to the range this weekend and post reports of the results. Thanks to all who helped with info on this rifle. I hope to have jc5 post pics of the rifle now that the rust has been removed and it is cleaned up. I know the magazine is hideous and I hope to find a suitable replacement soon. If anyone can help in the hunt for a good magazine please let me know.
