No4 Sniper

**Chris7171** · 08-08-2010 05:04 AM

Hi, here is a picture of my No4 sniper that I have been putting together over the last couple of weeks.
I have been after an original but always seem to miss out on a good one, so I decided to build one.

I got all the parts I needed off the net (scope, mount, pads, etc), the rifle was one that I had in the back of the cabinet that I knew was very accurate (Savage) and I followed “Making up a useable No4 Sniper” article on this site (Big thanks Peter).

As I am going to use this rifle allot I don’t mind that it’s not an original, I think I will defiantly have fun wearing this rifles barrel out though.
I will post a range report when I have time to get there.

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.

With an early style low cut forearm to boot. Nice looking rifle. Good job.

That looks like a very nice job - I'm going through the same process at the moment - if mine turns out looking as good I'll be well pleased!

Shoot it, enjoy it!

Very nice!!
How many grooves on that barrel?
I had a savage sniper which had a parker hale 5 groove barrel, darned good shooter.

Thanks for the comments, The barrel is the original Savage 2 groove and the scope is a No32 Mk1 that has been upgraded and remarked to mk2 spec. I did get a broad arrow marked center sling swivel but it has the wrong thread (must be for a No1)

so I am still looking for the correct one.

Go Savage!

Your giving me the itch to get home and get to the range.
