No.4 Mk.1(T) with No.32 Mk.2/1 UIC scope. Clearing out the dust bunnies
Haven't exercised this rifle in ages and can't even find any old photos as it turns out, so thought it time for a showing. Would have done better pictures, but it was mostly just a UV exposure and airing out exercise day that was done at the range where another rifle out in the fresh air wouldn't attract any attention. Got done shooting the "working guns" and had a wee bit of '87 Greek and South African .303" SAA so decide to run a few through it:

Aiming point was bottom of the bull, so not a good zero, but the high hit was the first round fired out of it in probably ten years. Next five are slightly lower are "righter".

Five in 1 1/4", Four in roughly 5/8"!
The slipping scales still work as advertised, so it was an easy matter to move POI, help by the fact that strikes in the white at 100yd are visible through the 2/1 scope.
But given the limited supply of '87 Greek, the next five were South African. Strikes were about 2 1/2" higher than desired and the group was rather larger, but close enough until next outing.
Probably a fluke group, but a nice reintroduction to a rifle that been enjoying a quiet retirement.
Oh, and some hasty shots done at the range, and may be the only ones done to date, so that needs some rectification...:
