Re: Not sure about what to think about this one

Hello Nitrox,

Well, an unexpected acquisition to say the least. I actually found it by accident while searching for info on my Stenda-Werke 8x57R. So, I tagged it with a minimal bid just to track how high it would go, never thinking I would actually get it so cheap.

I'll give a detailed hands-on review later this week or early next. I'm thinking that since the seller got the date wrong, (1949 not prewar) maybe the caliber is wrong also. I'm crossing my fingers that maybe, just maybe, its 303 British. How cool would that be? Anyone every heard of a 303"S" being some kind of British loading?

Everyone help me by crossing your fingers too. ? ? ? ?

But, it is likely going to be a 303 Savage. Back in the 1920's the 303 Savage cartridge had a big following in the eastern United States for moose. (I don't agree) Its been around since the 1899 Savage lever action hit the market, and the heavier 190g factory loading did a fair number on big game with properly placed bullets. I think mostly due to good penetration, not energy.

I found this reference while searching the internet. I think this catalog listing is from the 1940's or 50's under the FAUL brand name "Centaure".
