What is a fair price on a British 303 in fair shape? in military furniture? what MK what # where made ? do you want it as a shooter or collector or a shoot able collector ? I have seen Ishapores for around 3-350 however they don't have the peep site if it has been sporterized but has a good barrel more like 250-300 a decent shooter is more like 450ish collector probably start around 600-700 but the gun markets have been nuts in the last 2 years and if you have the one someone wants it can be a lot more what Number and Mk decides the price above that

Now they’re like $300 once open a a time in a K-Mart in the US a barrel in the isle full of them for 15 dollars this is what my great uncle told me approximately the same cost as 2 cases of beer at the time . seems like when I was a kid every project was paid in cases of beer , maybe it was just my uncles that my dad paid in beer actually a few years ago I got some steel cut for the 4-H kids rifle targets , paid the guy in 2 thirty racks of bush I was told that was his preferred beer it took him about 2 hours on a Saturday morning a friend got the laser time donated but we needed an operator

I have a British 303 in the closet. My brother in law bought it back in the late 80s at a gun shop. They had them in a big cardboard barrel $75 your choice. I guess I might want to pull it out and see what the value is.

Wow!I paid $250 for it at the NTA convention in Escanaba in 2013(?).The lady I bought it from said she had the bayonet that went with it and she'd give it to me.I never went up her way to get it.I've heard various things about thus models"wandering zero" but I've never had a problem,maybe I didn't take enough shots with it consecutively.Great deer gun!
