The Australianicon book "Competitive Rifle Shooting" by Janes Sweet is another of my "Keep until I Die" books. In growing up during the mid 50s to 60s, the Lee-Enfield was still the service rifle to beat on the Canadianicon ranges. This book is one of the best for information on shooting with the S.M.L.E., and in my youth, it served me well. It was set in the 1930-1950 era.
