Not in India. Here .303 is PB and no deal with a prohibited bore
Weapon is possible unless you have a connection in MOD.

There are many .303 Rifles in the hands of civilians in J&K. These civilians are members of Village Defence Committees in terrorist infested areas. They are monitored by J&K Police which is now under MHA. Ammo is supplied by the Police under very strict supervision.

Why do you want to buy 100-500-1000 rifles?

These would be government firearms issued to village defence committees, the ownership of these resides with the government, they cannot be sold/ transferred.

It's like what they did in punjab in the 1980's, government issued full auto carbines to people, as well as AKs, these were taken back by the government once peace returned to the state in the early 1990's.

The the only time a citizen can be trusted with such firearms, is when he's fighting the government's battle for it. At all other times, a citizen is to be distrusted and must be kept disarmed and at the mercy of the babus.

What is the Government? Employed by us, as per our personal fancies and taxes. Unfortunately, it becomes a Frankenstein's monster.
