    Rick - there is a lot of 'good stuff' on 303 accuracy and sighting in this book 13Mb and 100+ pages (do you have it ?)

    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    I had the paper copy of one of the last versions as well as a .pdf version. I leant the paper copy out and it's gone, and if I still have the .pdf version, it's lost in my maze of .pdf files.

    I don't remember Mr. Sweet spending much time on military zeroing (particularly Canadianicon specifications while living in Australiaicon) as opposed to the civilian marksmanship world where he did so well. As far as the grouping ability of the Lee Enfields, he is/was a bucket of ice water in the face of those who believe they can just take a Lee Enfield and turn it into a 1 - 1 1/2 MOA grouping rifle compliant with Service Rifle rules with some bedding and reloading techniques.

    Let see if this works ......................


    The forum says "no"

    I'll email it to you.
