Does any gunmaker chamber modern rifles in .303 British?
#255111 - 14/10/14 12:11 AM

A question put to me - does any modern gunmaker chamber modern rifles in .303 British?

Obviously some of the custom and semi-custom makers will chamber the .303 but any off the rack rifles? Bolt actions?

Thanks.

Ruger did a short run of 303s in their #1 rifle a few years ago, but other than that, I know of no rifle made in a 303 these days.

John, I think Ruger still make their single shot in .303 if you order one specifically as Steve says above, regards

Verney-Carron make a small double in the calibre if I remember correctly.
I almost had a set of barrels made up for my Westley Richards in this calibre but went for the 7x57R.

Ruger in a No1 just recently, Parker Hale 30+ years ago used No4 actions in factory sporters , I do not know of others only custom jobs.
