    I agree.
    I was chuffed to score 40.2 at 900 yrds distance at Bisley last weekend with my 4(T) and I outscored the 4 other club members shooting L39/Envoy's which for a 75 year old 303 battle rifle was pretty good going.

    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.

    1943 dated rifle, with a 1941 KL scope. Scope and mount are a mismatch, but still work well together.
    That is pretty much what I can get with my No.4 and a scope. And the rifle is really in pristine conditions.
    I wrote to the guys making the mount and they also told me that a 2MOA Enfield No.4 is absolutely ok.
    I can beat that easily with my K31icon, with most Mausers and also with my No. 1 when I do my part. The No.4 can shoot well, but it behaves like a difficult girl. Full of temper and, every now and then, she pouts and I shoot crappily...
    She likes to keep me hanging on there...on the line.
    And I love her so...poor idiot

    Today was my day off, so it was range day, regardless of heat. It was a muggy, humid 94 degrees F (34.5 C to the rest of the world). I was only at the range for about an hour, and only put 20 rounds downrange. Shot five shots at 100 yards to confirm zero, then 15 more at 200. The low shot in the 9 ring was the first round; added two clicks (4 inches) of elevation, and managed to keep the other 14 rounds in the 10. I'll be the first to admit, I probably should have waited a bit longer between shots. The last three rounds are the widest. I was trying to make the cease-fire. If I would slowed down, group might have been tighter. But by 0930, the sun was blazing, and everything was hot to the touch, shooting benches included! Still managed a 4-1/4 " X 3" group.

    Rifle is a 1931 Trails No4 converted to T. Mis-matched HBMCo Mk 1 scope in a mis-matched mount. This rifle has a pretty rough barrel. Its dark with some pitting. Oddly enough, even with its rough barrel, it likes boat tail bullets

    Handload was 174 gr Sierra HPBTM over 40.5 grains of Norma 203-B.
