Brownie,

Welcome to IFG. By your question, I am assuming that you are not from India. The .303 calibre is categorised as a "prohibited bore" which can only be issued to civilians under a special category of license. You will not be able to buy one in a shop.

Best-

.303 rifle will be hard to find or more precisely impossible in any shop throughout in india as it's a prohibited bore.

better look for 8mm or other non prohibited bore rifle...

Ironically, if you really want a .303 SMLE; as a civilian, you won't be able to buy one in India.
You will have better luck buying one in the USA. There are boatloads of them here.
Alternatively, you could go to Afghanistan or Pakistan and find plenty of them there. :)
