Just what the world needs. Another keyboard commando who thinks they can read someone's intent of what was posted as opposed to the actual words posted. Words have meaning. Just because you may have more knowledge of the subject, does not make you an expert. A true expert is willing to teach and inform others. You impress me as a waste of the oxygen you are breathing. If you have nothing useful to contribute to help me, STFU.

That is why I was wondering if it could be a 30-30 or a 303 savage. The owner knows he has fired it in the past. I have to go back to his home later this week. He has some fired 30-30, 303 savage, and 303 British in the same cartridge box. I forgot to gab some when I brought the rifle home to clean it for him and try to get it identified. I appreciate all the help from all that have replied EXCEPT muffet.2008. He seems to think I am lying about trying to get it identified. Or because he does not know, then his only gratification is to post replies implying that I am lying.
