Al-

Funny about the .303
I've handled and shot numerous enfields, many of them in really great looking condition, a few of them in sniper configuration.
I've never run one that could do any better than 2.5moa
even through a piece of glass.
They all completely wrecked the brass too.

These experiences had also left me with little respect for the british martial guns and the cartridge.
I get it that 2.5moa is good enough to kill a soldier on most days, but it's just not remarkably accurate in my books. I don't blame it on the cartridge, I'll accept that there may be enfields out there that can repeat and sustain a better accuracy standard too, but I have yet to handle one of them.

For whatever it's worth, I consider inside 1moa to be the beginning of where a bolt gun can be considered accurate.
I know it takes work to get a gun to that standard, I know it takes a marksman to get it there on the target.
I'm sure there's a modern brit martial arm of some sort that'll do it, I just don't have the faith in an enfield to do that kind of work.
