I doubt Oswald could have hit JFK's car even if he had been sitting in it. You couldn't get the damn thing sighted in. I think he tossed it.

I got a Lee Enfield from the same outfit .... only thing changed apart from the stock were the sights ... great hunting rifle: accurate and reliable. Still have it.

I liked the MkIII SMLE as the best of the miltary .303's, but for accuracy & consistency the P14 in .303 was better, I got two in the 1950's thro the Rifle Club for 4 quid each, one of them I rebarreled to .308 Winchester, reloaded my own ammo, 180 grain Lapua in front of 42 1/2 grains of R.P. number 2, won the club championship 5 years on the trot with that rifle.

Retlaw.
