    Hi Tiriaq,
    That's what I was told it was by the guy who ran the Ross Rifle sight, a few years ago, sorry about the pictures not being done, it just won't allow me to upload them at present, but still working on it. This rifle never had any sight fitted to it, it was the same type of rifle as they used to quite some success, until they complained about the Barrel being overweight. The Barrel has a heavy profile and is roughly 31" long. Others took them to war, to use for sniping, it's the same rifle as the one with the prismatic Zeiss sight fitted to it, I'll have another go tomorrow and no I don't want to drill additional holes in it either. They were fitted with a couple of different stocks too, the military type like mine, or the Deer Rifle kind, I believe it's the same Barrelled action that they used on the Scotch Deer Rifles, but not positive.

    Scot - a native of Scotland. Plural: Scots
    Scottish - adjectival form, e.g. Scottish Highlands.
    Scotch - an alcoholic drink.
    so:
    Scotch Deer rifles - like unicorns, very rare!
