Welcome to Woodlander. This channel is dedicated to experienced outdoor DIY and beginner education. The channel will educate individuals in outdoor related activities such as hunting, fishing, backpacking and camping. I will be providing tips and tactics that I have gained as a lifetime student of the woods all over the United States and required travel overseas.
Although I hope to add current and future videos of adventures I have experienced, this is not a complete entertainment channel. I go to the woods to find solitude, interact with wild things, use the woodlands as a resource, learn about where we come from and learn about myself and human nature. If you want to be an independent and observant student of the woodlands, then I welcome you to Woodlander. I'd love to help you "explore your nature".

3. 303 British Remodel is Complete
มุมมอง 14Kปีที่แล้ว
In this final video of a series I show how I chose my iron sights from New England Custom Guns. How I regulated the sights using an Online Ballistics Calculator and then filed them to be an express sight profile. I also show how I zeroed the rifle and finished most of the stock and barrel. #leeenfield #hunting #outdoors #shooting

1. Refinishing an Old 303 British
มุมมอง 22Kปีที่แล้ว
In this video series I will be refinishing my old British 303. Specifically it introduces my British 303 sporter. I discuss the guns design, its limitations, how to calculate its maximum point blank range, what I've done with it so far, and what I plan to do with it in the future. #leeenfield #hunting #outdoors #shooting
awesome video amazing how we think a like my TJ is done with up with similar gear
I love the safari look...OK, OK, OK thank you OK I am inspired!!! I pulled out one of my number ones and I am have'n at it
@@subdawg1331 awesome. If you can share how it turns out that'd be great. Good luck
I own a few one number 4 and 2 number ones.... the number for is original factory condition, and the number 1's are sporters. looks great and awesome video thank you
@@subdawg1331 thank you
In Canada it was a poor man's rifle, yet took more game in Canada than any other calibre from 1920 to 90's ... The Canadian rangers used it till 2019 because it was great in the cold and frozen landscape of our arctic. It is still used up there by hunters... I own a couple great rifles and very dependable...
@@subdawg1331 it's a great rifle and even better to use them in order to remember their history.
Hi, nice job. They are very under rated. I have rebuilt a few with new stocks. There is absolutely no need to float the barrels. Shoe polish is awsome release agent. If you have good bore they shoot lead very well. A basic aperture sight screwed to rh rear reciever is easy to make. There is nice flat there to mount it. A steel butt plate would be very durable and simple to make. We are lucky here in nz. Lots of these available. You are well armed with .303, 25-303 etc. Retro hunting rocks! Sv. Manawatu.
@@harrywp5785 thanks for the release agent tip. Much appreciated.
The 303 British has taken more Big Game In The Dark Continent Than Any Other Big Game Cartridge!
Bubba
Here in South Africa I have shot duiker, springbuck, fallow deer, blesbuck, mountain reedbuck and bushbuck, no problem.
Glad you using iron sights, can't wait for the finished product. From South Africa.
That's about 2 MoA with irons... that's good shootin'. My sporter I made wit a vertically adjustable post front sight (hooded) and a windage adjustable rear aperture... works pretty well and easy to zero..... But then I have machine tools which help, although on that rifle I made the rear sight with just hand tools... didn't have a mill back then.,.... That's a really nice rifle you have made there and it is unique, one of a kind, and carries your skill and spirit with it. You can't get that from even the finest factory rifle.... Brilliant.
I have a 303 that I built up from bits I had, just a barelled action and no wood or magazine. I re-stocked it. The action is from 1899; the original barrel was a bit rough so I have replaced it with a better one. I made a bridge mounted windage adjustable aperture rear sight... good for my old eyes. With the right powder, notably BL-C2 a 303 with 150gr bullets can hit over 2700 with normal pressures, which is very close to 308 ballistics. With iron sights, sighted in 3" high or a tad less at 100 yards, you end up with an MPBR of close to 250 yards for a 10" target size. That's "minute of deer".... This will take you past 300 yards with a bit of holdover and still aiming at hair not air, and 300 is about the limit for iron sights. The MPBR method is a bit of lost art these days wit range finders and 'dopable' scopes, but it works as well as it always did. I handload Hornady 150gr bullets and use the aforementioned BL-C2. These Chronograph at about 2700. When you reload, just neck size them only and they will be good for double figure reloads. Full length sizing will get you head separations sometimes. Good brass helps..... Norma or Lapua if you can get it... but Winchester or RP is OK. A Lee factory crimp die helps relieve shoulder stress when seating bullets too. With the right bedding a Lee will shoot pretty well... around 2MoA with good loads. Well worth the trouble. I'd recommend a few pounds upward fore end pressure on the skinny Lee barrel. Good luck with your old Lee Enfield... they are good rifles, much underestimated in these "600 yards 1MoA" days... 🙂
@@KathrynLiz1 good info thank you
@@KathrynLiz1 I found ppu brass not to be too bad either. Probably not as s good as the others but with a collet die I've about 6 reloads before full length size
@@vincethewoodlander Yes it's surprisingly good for the price. when you do get to full length size, just "bump" the case in the die enough to make it chamber easily. This works the brass the minimum amount and helps avoid head separations...
Curious about the engraving.
@@pepepepito623 than you but I never ended up doing it. life and work got in the way
I been doing that move since I was 16 years old..I'm 44. Good advice though.
I’m a year or so late, but I have got to say I love the Lee Enfield build! I have just started my own build on a No.1 Mk3* and I love it!
@@bendoingthing enjoy the process. It's therapeutic
Great video look forward to another.
Funny, my dad was against slings.
Why? they are a life saver when having to march a far ways off
@@heccsclips3319 guessing it had something to do with his Vietnam experience.
Hey, just found your content. Good work, very well thought out. Especially like your videos on.the Enfields.
@@paulhadella4427 thank you
I watched the video all the way through, you put a lot of work into that rifle. I will try to send you an email. anyway, I believe that the .303 is going into obscurity, not because it's somehow a short performer, it mainly because ammunition companies here in the U.S. look at tooling and bullet forming dies to make the round. there are though overseas companies that produce quality reloading components for the .303 ammunition hand crafter. There is two things I would have done different, I would have bought a adjustable rear peep sight for the rifle, also, instead of True oil, I would have used tung oil for a Danish finish. anyway Peace out dude, great video - Dave
@@thorsaxe5881 thank you. Lotta effort
@@thorsaxe5881 I didn't think the ppu brass was that bad. Especially when only neck sized. Although had a problem with consistent tension. These things stretch so much that brass is a problem, you either wear it out FL size or fiddle with neck sizing and tension.
@@vincethewoodlander I find that you can get into a vicious circle when loading for these, PPU brass is great stuff, I have had more than I expected "Luck" with it. one of the things you may want to check, Store bought projectiles labeled for this caliber can be a source of neck tension problems, I have seen bullets as small as 310 - 309, however labeled for the .303. Most, but not all .303's have a bore diameter at or around .312, some even larger, it's best to slug your bore to see what you got to work with for best performance and re-load-ability for your hand crafted rounds. Personally I shoot the Hornady 180 gr RN, That bullet seems to produce great accuracy in my rifle and others through the community say the same, It's not at barn burning velocity's, however it is accurate (In many rifles) and has a lot of connect energy. So, I hope that was some help, peace - Dave
Its the same if you're hunting two legged or four legged animals....
That's not a pistol grip but okay. I still like it.
@@elijahspecht9067 thanks! you're correct, old jargon puked up. My bad.
Why should I take advice from someone whose sling is attached with zip-ties or para cord?
@@TheGrizz1717great question! cause we can learn from anyone, it's 550 cord. Did it in the service to quiet my weapon in training and combat. It also allows more movement for sling wraps versus swivels. It's an inexpensive, functional alternative. I do it now for the same reason. Watch my experience and philosophy video as well as follow on videos of you like that explain my background. If not that's ok too. Have a great day.
I can't say as I much like this, if the trigger were to snag on something as you swing it - a branch, a pocket or whatever, then someone behind you or ahead or your own lower leg (!) is potentially at risk from a discharging weapon. I'd take the view that it's much better to miss a hunting shot than to start effectively juggling with a loaded weapon?
@@Fidd88-mc4szI said it's up to you to practice it safely. That involves thinking about it and If you don't feel safe then don't. At least we're thinking. Thanks for watching
@@vincethewoodlander I fully understand you're being responsible. In my (limited) rough-shooting experience, sudden movements are to be avoided too. It's a clever way of handling the rifle - theoretically, but I can see some draw-backs with it. To my eyes it breaks a cardinal rule - as I was taught - which was to have a loaded weapon under positive control at all times, and only ever pointing it at things you intend to shoot. It's that spin of the weapon that makes me shiver.
@@Fidd88-mc4sz well yeah if your shivering your not going to be accurate. Don't take that serious. That's meant in humor. I hear you, yet don't agree and we're still ok. It's meant for jumped game that spooked and may stop for a shot as they often do, the weapon's on safe, my fingers off the trigger, there are simple movements to avoid flagging your muzzle I'll show in the full video, and when practicing the weapon's clear. As I said if you're uncomfortable then don't do it, all good. We move on even though we disagree. Thanks for your insight. No matter what happens I hope you have a great time out there and create good memories.
@@vincethewoodlander I'm not a hunter - although I did a fair bit of rough-shooting rabbits in my youth. I learned my gun-safety from the military, and I guess it's a bit different? I didn't mean to appear to criticise, I just wanted to raise a "come off it" moment, as it's not without risk with a loaded weapon. IMHO of course! Interesting video thanks!
@@Fidd88-mc4sz Thanks for the conversation. Intelligent perspectives are welcome. Nothing felt too critical. Wish you well.
Works with ak-47 as well
It's called a safari flip.
Take a lesson out of the hunter’s history book. Take a look at some old rifles the next time you’re in a shop that sells them, there were rarely provisions made to attach a sling. Prior to the 1950’s most hunters just carried their rifles in hand.
A sling is used for more than just carrying your rifle. Properly used, the hasty, my personal favorite, ensures you never miss. A true rifleman would know this.
@@thomasodetinape4180 I know sling wraps as well as when and where they're needed. I cover them in follow on videos. A true rifleman knows everyone misses, some more than others. Hope you have a great time and gather memories out there.
@@vincethewoodlander I never miss, was never given permission to😉
I have only gotten 1 deer on my belly as well. It was my most recent deer this past January. I stalked this deer using trees for cover, peeking, then moving closer, and repeat. Once close enough, I layed on my belly at the base of a tree trunk.
Yeah, that's a good technique, be aware of rule two violations Better, is 'African carry' muzzle down on left shoulder. Left hand on the fore end brings the gun up And to your shoulder. It's slightly faster and a bit more natural than this technique Both are good and you should be good with both
I African carry more than anything other than a low ready
@@adamtrollinger61me too, but I usually just cradle, like in the short. but If slung, whichs hardly ever, I'm either traditional or PH style (which I assume you're calling African). Easy way to control a muzzle
I often carry with the barrel in front.
@@JamesJones-cx5pk it is all about what works for you. I've tried: traditional, muzzle up or muzzle down on the front, and horizontal/muzzle forward under the arm (African PH style). I always find myself in the traditional style or PH style.
Liberals
i automatically did this the first time i put a sling on a rifle i thought thats how you were supposed to draw quickly
@@heccsclips3319 good! Most people I've hunted with, lifelong hunters, don't know it or worse don't practice, that's the only reason I showed it.
Man I myself started doing it after I first got my first sling on a .22 I do a lot of small game hunting and it’s critical to be quick. Awesome technique to pass down brother.
Quickly flashing your buddy behind you
@@climbing200 that's why I said it's up to you to practice it safely. I've done it with a half left face, unsling, then half right face. But honestly still hunting Indian file with someone is near impossible. I show the technique in another video I'm creating about rifle carry and practice when still hunting.
Don’t hunt with morons. Problem solved
"Flagging".
@@paultrujillo9923 yep, I flash my wife but not my buddies. There were more important things to get across in my response though. Whatever you call it long as you don't do it.
No harm here, I completely understood what you meant. The video, had some very valid points. I just wanted to clarify, for new gun users. We learn together brother+ friends 👍.
I gotta ask why you didn't include a semi auto in the comparison? Was it cost?
@@Yelladog78 not exactly mostly because I don't own one and don't know anyone who has one other than AR platforms. And they're not legal for big game in my state. Should've put that into the edit. Noted. The editing is hard for me but I'll fix myself... Soon enough.
@@vincethewoodlander no problem brother, I was thinking back to a lady who used to shoot a Browning blr in 243, but they are not affordable really
Yes sir!
Thanks Uncle I appreciate it now I know what to do 😂❤
Lot's of love from Botswana , Africa 🌍
@@sekaopelaelo3331 that's awesome. I can't believe the reach of technology sometimes.
Job well doen
@@kraaidievoel thank you both for watching and the compliment
Your high is perfect. Adjust your drift. That is unacceptable
Can't believe ammo is so high for such an iconic proven round, I like the cartridge but it's to expensive for me unfortunately. In my area of the south central United States 30-30 is ideal for woods hunting and Federal blue box 170gr is only $17.99 at my Walmart
Yes the ammo is crazy price. I've taken to reloading for it. Not that easy to do though. I've found it to be really picky.
If the gun is for hunting the price is irrelevant. A few bucks for a deer is well worth it. Just isn't when shooting paper
@@M8Military you obviously don't practice much lol
I really enjoyed listening to you, you seem to be a man of faith. I subscribed & hope to see more from you
@@Yelladog78 thanks for watching and noticing. The videos will come at random bc of other obligations but I hope you enjoy.
@@vincethewoodlander I'll definitely be watching, have a good one friend
Good content looking forward too the next one
@@Azzafudd thank you
Nice!
Thanks!
I've been reloading and trading for military surplus rifles so many years i don't remember how many I've owned. some i gave as gifts. if i choose to refinish one i take outside in hot weather prop it in the suna while then wipe off the oil. then put clorax good on it then when oil comes repeating wipe off oil,clorax repeating several times a day or two. its impossible to get all the oil out but can get a bunch out. sometimes i take latex calking bedding action and barrel. tighten barreled action down ,wipe off squeeze out , a wet rag for cleaning up, let set a few weeks, check for dryness and im good to go...papa wishing you 😊
@@johnnymccann5607 always good to hear how others do it. We all can learn. Thanks for watching
Excellent information.
@@concernedaussie1330 thank you
Good talk, Vince. Time sure has passed quickly. Eric
Yes it has....
I grew up in suburbs of Commiefornia without a father. I didn’t even shoot a gun till I was 30. Ive only been on a few hunts but I found the peace and quiet of the wilderness invigorating. Tracking an animal is exhilarating. Successfully taking your quarry is fullfilling on a primal level. Im a father now and i cant wait to take my boys hunting once they are old enough.
Everyone is an example. Some are good, some are bad. Knowing what not to do is as important as knowing what to do. I'm glad you're interested in breaking the cycle. Sounds like you and your boys will be good. I wish you luck.
PA outdoor news for fire starting material...good place for that! LOLOL! Great perspective and wisdom as always.
Thanks. That paper's really good for political and some national information as it relates to hunting. Reader comments not so much.
Hi Vince, thank you for your honesty and the good intentions that you have in giving back to the hunting community. I have been a hunter (in Australia) my whole adult life. I am now 54 and am still learning and getting fulfilled by hunting. Your philosophy of being a man and provider first and foremost is important and a message that needs to be shared. Hunting is more than a life skill it is a way of life. We need to help the next generation who missed out on the electronic free upbringing that we enjoyed. Kids these days are raised online and the prevalence of legal drugs and other perversions has taken them away from the true meaning of life. Thank you for attempting to bring people back onto the right path via hunting. I apologise for writing so much but you have touched on a whole world that most do not yet understand.
Thank you for watching and commenting, it's crazy to think the video reached around the world. As far as the rest of what you said, I was just speaking honestly, I learned it by continuous mistakes and quiet time to think about them. A good spouse didn't hurt either.
Hi Vince,I really enjoyed this video and rarely comment on youtube but you seem so genuine so am intrigued by this series.This is coming from New Zealand, we call still hunting bush stalking.It is my favourite way to hunt,I think I am 68 now and have hunted since 7 years old.Most deer are reds I have also hunted fallow and sika..Living in the bush in a small house(cabin) hunting is literally out the back door.Having read Van Dyke,the still hunter and Whelen and many others I appreciate this philosophy.My time in the bush is time for observation and reflection,it is easy to watch deer instead of shooting but I am having venison tonight.Equipment,rifle can be very simple and relatively inexspensive although now a red dot is perfect for my eyes.Looking forward to upcoming videos,old dogs can always learn new tricks.Stuart Davidson.
Thanks for watching/commenting. I just read Van Dyke this year. Good book, even though it was written a while ago. Could've saved me some time had I read it earlier. I need to read Whelen's stuff, haven't yet. I hear you on the eyes, recently got my bifocals.
