in 2020 I fitted a Schmitt Bender X6 scope to one of my No8 Enfields. Because Covid had stopped all our Service rifle competitions. I decided to enter a Benchrest type competition for non Benchrest rifles.
So lot's of modern CZ heavy barrel etc. Rules allow for a X24 scope.
My colleagues asked why I'd turn up with my old Enfiled instead of my CZ455 Thumbhole. Answer; I just want to have a bit of fun!
Turned out I was top score of our club (11 entrants) and 5th overall!
A fun day out!
Lovely rifle MrClark!
I have mine setup in a similar manner with a period target scope. It will quite happily destroy fragments of clay pigeon at 200yds with standard .22 ammo, they are extremely accurate platforms!
I just acquired an International Mk 2 and have been trying to find scope bases that will work. Weaver 46 will work, however rear base has to be relieved and new screw hole drilled, even then the clamps on rind hit receiver. Does anyone have a fix.
Thanks
