No 4 or No 1

[Claven2]

The No1 is more elegant, but I always shoot better scores with the No.4, primarily due to the sights.

No4 or No1

It was the best bolt action rifle for that time.

No4 Mk1 or 2, thanks....;

- aperture sight, and longer sight radius (guess that goes without saying),
- not so likely to have been beaten upon,
- I think they look nicer!!

peep sights

I like the no 4 because of the peep sights,

You can't mount 17 inches of steel on a No. 4 Mk. I.

Bingo, same here

Rc,

Do you have some photos of examples you could post?

I prefer the No4 for the vernier peep sight and sight radius but prefer the No1 for carry. The single hand carry ballance point is just forward of the mag where-as the no4 is on the mag. Still I love both. The No1MkIII evokes a more emotional response from me that the no4. Not sure if that makes any sense.
