Does anyone out there...........

[Peter Laidler]

The Envoy on the trials wasn't like that shown by SimponP Thunderbox, it had the No8 type fore-end with mag and No8 butt with rubber butt plate. The bracket fittings on that look a bit....., er how do we say it....., er...amateurish to me

There was also a report on the feasibility on using telescoped No8 rifles to be used for indoor sniper training. I'll see if I can't find that too

Peter, if you could find that I would be delighted. I have shown somewhere else on these forums what a No. 8 can do at 100 meters, and the 50 meter one-hole test pattern from the RWS test facility in Fürth. With the right ammo a No. 8 beats just about all full-bore service rifles up to 100 meters, so I reckon it certainly could have been used the purpose you mentioned.

Good luck with your search!
