The model I have is one of the 198 sporting models that Roy talks of.
I'm more interested in the sporting models

Re: Rolling Block .303 British Calibre
Recently I purchased a #5 303 at auction in New Zealand
I was informed that there were 198 sporting rifles made in the #5's spanning 7 calibers, and 28 were 303, of the 28 that were made only 4 are known to exist, my serial number is 5-141
she is a very prized part of my collection
I would love ...
