    For Gil Boyd

    Had my 1200 P H out at the range for a dust off has a 26" Bartlein 1-12 TR on it pretty happy with it hitting a 2" gong at 214m every shot. The scope is a cheap as MARK which I may ditch and put my spare 3.5 x 15 N F on it.

    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.

    Ron,
    My advice would be to leave it where it is mate, 2" disk is not to be sniffed at, at that distance, bearing in mind original sniper rifles were only ever destined to operate at 400m, so on that basis alone, she is still on the money and looking great too.
    Thanks for the shots

    Standard trigger that was worked by my gunsmith with a trigger shoe breaks cleanly with no backlash set at @1.5 - 2 lbs very light have been rough on purpose with the bolt to see if the sear drops not an issue does not drop. As I have given the walking long distances on a hunt I let the bullet do the walking so having a light trigger is not an issue firing from a fixed posi. Just to clarify that I do not walk around with a cocked loaded weapon it may be loaded but the bolt handle is up before I get taken to task by implication
