Ross M1905 target rifle

[green]

Looks like the receiver has been tapped for the Ross milled sight base.
The first year the Cdn military team team took the MkII with the light barrel to Bisley they did poorly. The next year they returned with first MkII** with the heavy 30" barrel and short stock rifles. The heavy barrel was a close copy of the profile of the Long Lee barrel. The Brits complained it was not a service rifle since it did not take a bayonet. The Cdns replied it was a rifle in service with militia not divulging that it was only in service with the Bisley team. The next year the Cdn team arrived with the long bt lug model II**.
The II** was the rifle that established the Ross rifes reputation for accuracy.
