    Found a couple of "old" Ross targets

    During a patch job on a bunch of targets from previous trips, I found a couple of pretty good targets (no bad ones!) that were noted as having been generated by my "onliest" Ross currently in captivity. So, before they get used again, thought it would be nice to share:






    Didn't quite think this through quite fast enough!:




    10 rounds, I think!

    5rds at 200:




    That's it for now. Maybe more in upcoming range reports...

    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 shooting for a 94-year old (and you did your part as well)

    Helps show why the Canadianicon snipers hung onto their Ross rifles when the swap to SMLEs occurred.

    Snowing like crazy here (again), so range days seem like they're still a long day away, but hope to have my Rosses out soon. I hope they (and I) do as well.
