bigugli Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 We used to have small arms instructors who had no problem pegging targets with the old LeeEnfield III and IV at ranges of 1 mile without all the gadgets. I still remember... " Downs!!! Having trouble finding the target?? 25 pushups for each round missed." The 5 with the lowest scores that day got an extra trip to the Assault course.

lew Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 We used to have small arms instructors who had no problem pegging targets with the old LeeEnfield III and IV at ranges of 1 mile without all the gadgets. My grandfather was a sniper with the British Army in the trenches of France during WW1 and it was the old LeeEnfields he used also. Said it was a heavy gun but deadly accurate.

Dave Bailey Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Could have used that 40 years ago. I have a small blurred patch dead centre of my right eye, makes it difficult to aim at all. Don't know how I ever got my Leading Infantryman qualification, must have been a backlog on the paperwork that day. I could fire off a full 20-round magazine with the old FN 7.62mm C1, and when I looked at the target it wasn't much of a grouping, more like an area code.
