Congratulations! That's some fine table fare right there. Combined with your daughter's buck, your family will have some memorable meals.
 
I think that your freezer should be just about full :wink: congratulations!!!

Blessings,

Congrats and wow, very cool rifle! Looks like the old 303 still works!
 
Pretty cool using the 303 with the Mono Flex, any trouble getting 308 cal bullets to perform in it? I experimented with some 308 100 gr Speer Plinkers in mine and they actually shot pretty good.
 
I read a artical once about some barrels tight enough use 308 bullets, so I put a 30-30 decapper pin in my lee die and gave it a whirl. I'm just glad it is the gun my dad gave me for my first gun, all others if tried throw 308 lead all over, but mine gives Moa accuracy with a lot of my choices, ttsx, accu bonds, mono flexs, ect., three shot group below

The old 303's can be surprisingly accurate, the fact that yours does it with 30 cal bullets is a real bonus.
 
Eh, I think my memory is going, might be 180 sierras in that pick, I'm not home at this time I'll post pics of all that I can find when I get home .
 
Yes I love that this gun gives me more selection . I had to use it this year, been a few, even replaced brass butt plat for a recoil pad for the rest of the family .
