    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 ...

    Excellent demonstration of the historically proven potential accuracy of the M-98 w/ good 8mm ammunition. How is your scope mounted? Is this the way your purchased the rifle. What ammunition were you using? Inquiring minds want to know? Sincerely. BruceV.

    Hello, the scope is mounted on a one piece rail mount, not sure of the make. It was as I purchased it.

    I think I may spend some money on a nice scope for it.

    I was using reloaded ammo. 166 gn Lapua projectiles - 42.5 gns of ADI AR2206H

    Will make a nice hunting rifle, will change the projectiles though !

    Caliber??

    From the responses, it appears some folks think that this M98 is an 8mm. Please confirm that this "Israeli M98" is one of their conversions to 7.62 NATO and the loads you quoted were in fact .308 Win/7.62 NATO loads.
    Better be safe than sorry!!

    Considering the demonstrated performance, it would be foolish to alter that rifle in any way. Leave it and enjoy a superb shooter.
