Ditto,
Whats the accuracy of the 17 compared to your 303's like?
Welcome and... very nice collection... Enfields are something to be proud of ;-)
Haven't really done much target shooting with it (the Eddystone) yet. I did a quick "sight in" then just some rapid fire plinkin for fun. The SSA I've had for 25 yrs. And the few times I've Target shot with it, it was real informal at my Uncles range. Shot it at 100 yards and seems to be right there with other's SMLE accuracy. It's been a while, But I think it grouped in the 2 1/2 to 4 inch range depending on ammo. I know I can hit a cinder block at 200 yds standing. Not every time, but a good bit. I'd like to shoot a Camp Perry this year in the military bolt class. Haven't shot the Longbranch yet, but if it groups good, I'd like to use it. Also I think you can shoot a Model 1917 in the Springfield class. Not sure though. Well thanks for the welcome, Dane
