    Hesketh-Prichard, letter to his wife, March 16th, 1917:

    "Today with a Ross rifle I did rather a feat of touching three bullets at 100 yards. It is luck of course, as no one can hold as close."

    I suspect luck had very little to do with it.

    So far I've only had one opportunity to shoot my Ross Mk. III, but I remember three things about it. It was FUN, it was FAST, and it was ACCURATE!!!

    If I could find a steady source of cheap, reliable .303 that rifle would be almost a constant companion at the range....
