Ross M1910

.303 British

What it would have originally looked like.

 

This baby was a recent purchase at an OGCA show. I'd wanted one for a while, but couldn't find one at the right price. This one was a sporterized job, apparently from England. (Stamped NTENGLISHMAKE on both the barrel and reciever.) I'd heard stories of the accuracy of this rifle, and also of the horror stories about faulty bolts flying into the shooters skull. Still, the price was very attractive for such a nicely converted rifle ($125) that I bought it. It's been modded to prevent improper bolt assembly. I've only had the chance to shoot it once, but I'll tell you, it will give my M96 Swede a run for its money. I can't wait to try it with hand loads! (1.5MOA with cheap FN Surplus ammo)

Pictured above, mod to prevent improper assembly of bolt.

A nice micrometer peepsight.
