[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1132646, member: 90399"] For those of you who are unaware, the 303 British is well known as being a very fast bolt action rifle. It holds 10 rounds and also the action itself is designed so the bolt moves to a lesser degree than most other bolt actions. Plus it is a "cock on closing" not a "cock on opening" like most of us are used to. When you pop the bolt up, it springs rearward by itself. The solders used to do a training drill called the Mad Minute. I think the record is over 30 something hits on a target at 300 yards in under 1 minute using iron sights. That's **** impressive considering they needed to keep the stripper clips in their ammo pouch! [/QUOTE]
