Those are as clear as I can get.
So I'm thinking just a Steyr rework.

That's it- I couldn't find any SS markings on the rifle, though I haven't taken the action out of the stock.
The exterior markings (in the fuzzy pictures) are as listed.
My assumption is that the...

Thanks for the info! I appreciate it.
The pictures expand and enlarge for me- particularly the 4th and 5th.
It wasn't sold to me that it, and I really wasn't sure if it, has anything to...
I recently purchased a RC 98k that has some interesting markings on it.
I'm curious to know whether the markings on the barrel/receiver are consistent with a reworked rifle for the SS by Steyr.
I...

You're welcome to a copy if it helps............
How about an L39 --UE.70.A763.............?
Thank You!
I have a question about my CF 1917 that maybe one of you can answer......
The butt is marked with two units markings (I think)...... one is "R H 172" which is lined out and the other is "TC 53...
Alan:
Sorry for the confusion. I can see your point.
I didn't know Fazackerly (sp?) were making No1's in 1949. So I assumed it was understood I was referring to a #4 mk1.
But again sorry for the...

Ok, Thanks!
As it turns out I was able to look at the rifle and see the SA marks on the receiver above the chamber, so I'm going with Rand Light Infantry.
Thanks again.............
Any guess as to what this marking means?
It is on a 1949 (F) #1
Is that a unit mark? If so, Reed (?) light infantry or Rhodesian?
Thanks!
Curious to know a fair price of a AC44 K43 "VOPO" and import marked K43.
Great conditon barrel, wood etc.
The serials are forced matched....
Any guess of a fair price here in the States?
Thanks!
I was looking at a dot 45 K98k today. (sorry no pics) And it seemed like a put-to-gether rifle. It was a dot 45 receiver, serial #422, with dot marked stock and handguard, and later features. What...
If you mind me asking, how are the DDR one's marked?
Thanks!
I was offered one of the ERMA 22lr conversion kits for the 98k. It's missing the box and the "pin" tool but otherwise complete. It is about 70%- some wear etc and some surface rust but matching...
Hopefully this is the pic of it:

This is from Janes:
UK forces are to receive a semi-automatic 7.62 mm x 51 mm 'sharpshooter' weapon to combat Taliban forces engaging beyond the maximum effective range of the 5.56 mm L85A2...
This isn't just being nostalgic. It's picking the best rifle for job that one would expect the operator to need to perform. I would back up what Peter is saying by the snipers are trained to use to...
Yes, Peter you are right. We're arguing that very point in a way! :)

Please don't take our comments too negatively. You are talking to a bunch of people with opinions and knowledge (?). But it is also a technical question you've posed.

You got me curious and so I looked up the tables for the 338Lapua, 308 ball and M118LR in the book: The Military and Police Sniper, Mike R. Lau Precision Shooting INC.

PS
If I misunderstood you to think they should've adopted a semi-auto precision RIFLE instead of a bolt action, then I think it comes down to the rifle and ammunition that you are comparing. ...

Thankfully I have Christmas to myself and so read your essay. I mean these comments as constructive and helpful, not to start an argument.
I'm curious to know who this essay is for. I would...
FWIW: I bought a "mummy" rifle for 175$ when they first came here to the States. That was early 90's?? Not too long ago I paid 500$ for one out of the wrap. I just got a really nice 9/52 PF...
