I've got a sniper version No. 4 by Holland & Holland.

It's reasonably accurate but not minute of angle. Scope is original, old and dim. It's still fun to shoot.

I have actually never even fired one of the sniper versions. I am surprised the scope is dim as I have read that the Ross made ones are considered even a bit better than the German Zeiss and the Zeiss is great.

I suspect that Holland & Holland assembled the outfit but did not manufacture the basic rifle.

I did have one Enfield which jammed regularly. The fix was simple, I just ordered another magazine. They are really easy to change out.

I know the British made them work OK but the combination of rimmed cartridge and ten rounds just can’t be as inherently reliable as the Mauser system.
