    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 ...

    Cool Long time zero update

    Yes, ancient thread, but not much has changed since posting, so I thought reference to what went before might be useful.

    It's been a long while since I last shot this rifle, but since I already got a deer this season with the now "old reliable" .223, it seemed a good time to have some fun with the milsurps in the woods.

    In actual fact, I went to the range to help Lisa get comfortable with her new NRA High Power "Space Gun" and shot the Type 99 whilst she was taking a break.

    Rather surprised to find that the zero (using the same Hornady 150gr ammo) was as good or better than ever! Only about an inch off at 100yds using the 100m marking in the 4x "Hollywood style" etched reticle. Rifle is still very precise as well.

    The "battle sight" was usefully correct as well, being about an inch high and two inches right from being spot on at the same distance.

    Very glad for the stability, as re-zeroing these and their 2,5x relatives can be quite a pill.

    First real milsurp I've shot in some time, glad to be back, if ever so briefly!
