Good article and video on the Ross rifle...

Found the article on the Vancouver Province (?) website...

The video is very well done, and demonstrates what caused the problems with the Ross Mk 3.

I've only heard of the scary stuff, never have seen a Ross up close, and had no real understanding of its unique action. Very enlightening, and a bit of a myth buster in the sense it was human error that was the cause of the problem.

Thank You, sir. Very informative video, indeed.

I own a sporterized M10 Ross in 303 British, and I really like it. Fast and it feels solid.

I am waiting on a new barrel, since the original saw too much corrosive ammo, by the looks of it.

Still shoots arout 2½ moa, but a good Ross will shoot an inch, so I will rebarrel mine.

Regards, Dave.
