    Competitive Rifle Shooting by Jim Sweet

    G'Day,
    Does anyone know where I can buy a copy of Competitive Rifle Shooting by Jim Sweet. I am after a early edition that deals with the Lee Enfield as opposed to the later editions that are mainly about Omarks and 308. Also does the latest edition now for sale deal with the Lee Enfield, Omark, or both.

    Thank You,
    Rastis.

    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 ...

    You want the 4th edition, it is the best for the No 1 MK III rifle.

    Do you need to reference something in it?

    I've been tempted lately to list my 1954 Enfield related copy on ebay, buggx is it took years to find it,

    If you're after Enfield accuracy info you could also try the accurizing book on enfield resource.com, for a lot less money. I've been offered $175 for my 1954 Sweets book, and I think I gladly paid $100 for it a few years back.
