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.

Is this one of these vets who lost his master eye during warfare and had to adapt?

**trooper554877** · 05-10-2010 05:01 AM

that same system has been used here in Australia icon

for target rifle shooting.
right goes weak or left eye dominant, usually the rifles here have the front sight set to the left as well.

"Veteranenschiessen" refers to age category for classification and awards.
The categories determine what minimum score that shooters need to get a medal or certificate. See bottom of score card

Active = 18 to 59
Vet =60 to 69
Senior vet = 69+
J = junior = 12 to 18
JJ = junior junior = under 12

Weapons used also affect scored needed.

Great, this 85 years old guy is aiming with his left eye for the reason that he always did it so. He won this competition for 74 times. Great shooter.

I'm sure they meant made the required points, not won the entire competition.

Here a breakdown from 2000. the numbers on the top of the columns are year of birth.

**tenntex32** · 07-09-2010 10:56 PM

I would say he is a right handed left-eye dominant shooter............but I have been wrong before.

I see now that someone has posted a similar opinion! It's been a while since I've been on here and the newlook/format has me a little dazed and confused.

Is the front sight offset as well?

**diopter** · 07-12-2010 12:03 AM

It has to be. Look at the picture with three versions of the diopter sights, set at left.
