Dragged out the old Lee-Enfield 4T sniper to a club shoot at Bisley 300yrds
Lovely early warm spring day last weekend for our club shoot at 300yrds on the electronic targets at Bisley, UK.
Time for the 4T to get some use. Rifle is 1944 with original matching number Mk.3 scope. Not original barrel though, was fitted with a NOS Enfield barrel about 12 years ago, although its only had about 300 rds through in that time.
Conditions were a bit interesting, as light wind in usual from left to right direction, but then then for 5 or 10 minutes it would be completely still, before wind coming back.
You can see how I got dialed into the breeze after 1st shot and got it on target, and the instantly the wind disappeared for #7 and just about got it back on for the last 3 or so before wind changed again :lol:
Was quite pleased with the old girl, and 44.3 was a decent enough score for a 80 year old battle rifle, and only those club members with high mag scoped modern 308 target rifles bettered the old lady on the day.
Ammo was surplus 80's dated Greek HXP Mk.7z.....which I've only now got about 60 rds left, and there's no more of that to be had here in the UK.:(
