Australian use of old Ross sniper rifles in WWII??

[Surpmil]

I have both a Ross MKIII and a P14. The P14 is by way far the kicker. My 13yo shoots the Ross with no recoil problems but avoids tha P14 like the plauge.

That's interesting, but I can't say why that might be!

OP: any update on the 92 year old vet?
