Do it.

>>32217465

Reloading is fun.

>>32217485
I'm noguns (inb4 faggot). How much is 54r nowadays?

>>32217492
I'll give you that.

>>32217492
I think I might, its a private sale too so I bet I could talk him down to $200-$250
>>32217519
54r is about 37 cents a round now which is shit, when I first got my mosin it was only 11. 303 is also only 39

I got nothing...buy it!

Do it. Lee Enfields are fucking great. Wolf has been making steel case .303 for a few months now and its like 10 bucks a box. But if it only has a 2 grove barrel you are shit out of luck with that stuff. Key holes like a mo fo

>>32217465
No its not.

>>32217451
If you don't buy that for $300 you're the biggest imbecile that world has ever seen

>>32217451
It has a 3rd of the range of a Springfield 1903. Way more affordable though. Hate to burst the bubble.

>>32217776
>3rd of the range
Yeah ok what the fuck are you smoking?

>>32217776
You're out of your silly mind but I still love and accept you

Get a Ross instead

Twice the effective range according to Wikipedia

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1903_Springfield

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee–Enfield

I must be having some Mandela effect because I could've swore for years it was 3 times.

Still a great find though OP, I would but that shit if I were you

>>32217792

I still regret passing on a Ross about a decade ago. I was poor and $400 was a lot for me at the time. Have yet to see another in any condition locally.

>>32217792
Underrated.

>>32217451
Do it. There are more sources of .303 coming, and if you're shooting milsurp you'll either make enough money to shoot as much as you want at some point in the future, when Enfields are priced stupid high and won't really be worth buying over a modern gun (unless you're sentimental/a collector) or you'll get into reloading.

That's what happened to me anyway xD

Further google research shows the 550 yard figure is for iron sights, and the Lee Enfield platform with a scope is accurate to at least a thousand yards.

The Mauser has a higher efffective range cuz the irons are some fancy kraut shit

Consensus on arm chair experts is 303 is 303 and you're not gonna have too much variance between models. 1500 yards is pretty reasonable. The longest shots in history occurred at around 2500 yards using 338 and 50

>>32218130
Nah I have 300 dollaroos to spare and what else could i buy that's better than the rifle that protected the queen

>>32217451
Holy fuck that's my ad!

Everyone has an Enfield.

Be a special snowflake like me and get a MAS-36.

>.303 British

even 7.62x54R is a better cartridge than that weaksauce

>>32219662
Also, what's your contact info?

>>32218158
We shoot 600 yards iron sights at our club in Australia with SMLEs it's easily accurate enough to hit the target if there's any problems it's almost always with the shooter. 600 is really far

Nah south of roseburg, Medford is about an hour away

>>32220102
Grants Pass?

>>32220171
Myrtle creek, its a tiny ass town,

>>32220204
Meth capital of Oregon lol

tho that might be Cave Junction actually

>>32220204
I remember now, that's in Douglas County. I would aways stop for Dairy Queen their whenever I went up to Portland.

>>32220237
No, Cave Junction is something right out of Deliverance with all the inbreds there.

>>32220239
>>32220237
Nah dude methford is, and yeah its honestly a bum ass town full of fuds but its kind of cozy

>>32220314
I used to live there, the town it's self is a complete redneck shithole. But the surrounding wilderness is actually really nice.

>>32220314
At least all the Junkies here in Medford do is just steal shit. Much rather have that then Murders if I had to chooce between one or the other.

>>32219662
I'll take it for 300 were u located

>>32220348
Medford, OR. But that's only in case this /k/ommando here either doesn't want it or we can't work out a deal. I'm not sure if I could drive to Myrtle Creek.

>>32220364
Oh shit haha I'm on the other side of the country.

>>32220328
Yeah the outskirts are honestly pretty and good hunting ground
>>32220343
Yeah fair enough ig

>>32217451
