Mr. jmoore, Ladies and Germs..........

Son the Australianicon is extremely knowledgeable about bedding the No.1 SMLE and I would trust anything Son, Lithy and the Ozmanics have to say on the subject.

I'm just a rookie American who spent hours playing with my fore end and nearly went blind doing it.

The Australian's Jim Sweets book "Competitive Rifle Shooting" has a large amount of information on the "black arts" of bedding the SMLE. Also new reprints of Jim Sweets book are now being sold.



Below is another good book to have.



In closing Mr. jmoore please give the Australian Son more credit about the SMLE and HIS knowledge on bedding this fine rifle. On the flip side of the coin the Australians can't be trusted and cheat at Yacht racing (Americas Cup) and playing Rugby.

Also please remember the Australians have many "stocking up" variations.
