1905 Ross MkII w/MkIII sight

Very nice rifle. You may want to use raw linseed oil instead of BLO due to the other chemical additives that speed up the drying process.
Cheers, Steve

I took my new Ross out this morning for a quick range session. It did not disappoint! It is an accurate rifle with mild recoil. Target pic was best five-shot group at 100 yards.

I fired several handloads through it, and found it liked 150 grain sierras over IMR 4064. While accurate, it did odd things to the brass. Last pic are two cases, both HXP. Tarnished case was a factory military load fired through an Enfield No 4 I also brought along. The shinier case is a full-length sized HXP is use for my reloads. Check out that odd looking neck!
