I was at Dromia's on Thursday and he has a single shot Sportco in 308, currently with open sights, it is very accurate and will leave you plenty for certainly another 1 or 2 rifles!

It has a Brindles match trigger box, a reworked magazine follower so I can close on an empty magazine and a fine vernier rear sight, other than that it is erm.. standard. Even in such a state of 'tune' I doubt it is worth more than GBP375, they are stunningly accurate and hugely under rated rifles, and no, it is not for sale!
Based on a Mauser action, designed in the UK and built in the USA and chambered in .303 (The P17 was 30-06)
I would agree with you there re the p14 mine is "as issued " iron sights no mods an it will still out perform some dedicated target guns much to the displeasure of the target shooters
next would be my no4 again as issued then for fun my no5 and mauser k98A

Reading in between the lines though, it seems that a "Tacti-cool" rimfire AR may be the prefered first........ yes? LOL

Having looked at a lot of them and shot a fair few I would only plumb for a Spikes Tactical. That said, it's going to be the best part of 1500 quid for a tricked up version. But then for half the cost, the next best one is the Smith & Wesson MP15/22....
