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.

I think this one's been around the block a bit. Barrel is shiny clean and the rifling's sharp, but the wood's a bit banged up and I suspect it and the scope were stored in humid or extreme temp conditions and the glass is a little foggy.

It was such a deal though.

As I understand it the sniper rifles were manufactured by the usual suspects but accurized by Holland and Holland and other British makers.
