We used to shoot the issue rifle in two classes. SR(A) was with the issue sights, with the rifle "as issued".
SR(A) shooting included the snap, rapid, standing and run down shooting.
SR(B) permitted a micrometer target sight and some other minor changes, so long as the rifle could be returned to "as issued" state. That is, no drilling of holes, etc.
SR(B) was prone target shooting at a "tin hat" (top half of a round bull aiming mark) from 200 to 1000 yards. At 800, 900 and 1000 the bull was a round aiming mark. Shoots were either 7 shots, 10 shots, 15 shots or 20 shots, all prone, deliberate fire.
This is a No1 rifle, decked out to shoot both. The AJ Parker rarsight swings up, out of the way, to permit use of the open rear sight. The open sight has a wind adjuster built into it.
This rifle is ex-military. It has a stamp indicating it has been sold to private ownership. The Knox form is stamped "Regulated by Fulton". "Regulated" means "tuned - up". Fultons is a gunsmith, gun dealer situated on the NRA Bisley range complex.
The rear sight is the early model with the wind adjusting wheel.
The rifle also retains the front volley sight and the magazine cut-off.
I have shot this in Vintage Rifle matches. It is a true "vintage" rifle.
