    US marked H&R Model 12

    Recently picked up this H&R model 12:




    Alas, no sights.

    Anyone familiar with what sights this rifle originally had?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    It came with Redfield Palma rear sight and a Redfield Olympic front sight. It will shoot with the best rifle out there.

    Thanks, MKIII.

    I notice that it comes with scope blocks too. They look pretty far apart--does it take one of those mile long Unertl scopes, too?

    I'll get to work looking for some Redfield sights

    Yes those far apart scope mounts are for a Unertl, Lyman, and other type target scopes. Your Redfield sights show up on Gunbroker or ebay all the time. Probaly in the 200.00 plus range. Happy hunting.

    Would the Redfield Olympic or International rear sights work also?

    I am sure both would work just fine. But when the Military purchased them it had the Redfield Palma rear and Olympic front. Not sure but I believe the Palma was the only sight Redfield was making at that time or the best one.

    I acquired a Redfield International rear sight and an Olympic front sight and mounted same. Finally got to the range yesterday and fired it.

    8 rounds of Walmart $1.59 Federal .22 ammo @ 100 yards







    I think I'm going to like this one

    If I could ask, what did you pay for it. I have one I I'm going to sell. It is a CMPicon and unfired since I got it. Thank you for your help. Rog

    I got mine at an estate sale without the sights for a pretty good deal. The sights were about the same as the gun.
