    No4MK1 T AT THE RANGE

    Went out to the range and did some more testing with surprising results at least to me. Last test I was firing Canadianicon Ranger issued softpoint RP ammo with the best 5 shot @ 100 yds grouping around 2.75". I had some older Canadian Ranger issued ball ammo.....MK87 CDN, manufactured in 2003 well the results were a lot different. The first group was a 3 shot @ 100yds and it printed right around 1", that was the best group at 100 yds, the others were not to bad either. I moved out to 200yds and shot a 4 shot group just over 3". I think with sandbags and a proper bench the results will get better. I just wish the vertical post on my MK3 scope had a more defined point...it's kind of flat on top and it's hard to be precise. Happy so far, regards.

    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 ...

    No for some odd reason IVI only made MkVIIIZ and 180SP for the rangers.

    The ammunition is headstamped 8Z, and it is loaded with a boattailed bullet, but it isn't true 8Z ammunition.
