    Quite definitely yes!
    When I ran out of the Lapua Master, both my No. 8s were tested by RWS in Fürth, and the grouping quality was slightly variable depending on the factory lot. Best result with this rifle - all shots touching a 3 millimeter circle at 50 meters. As for all high performance rifles, once you find the ammo that matches your rifle best, don't waste money and range time on anything else. These rifles are far, far too good to be used as plinkers.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Nice rifle Son. I'm impressed and a bit envious.
