You sir are an incredible shot! As a Canadian, we are quite proud of those rifles, the 303 saw us through 3 wars, and after the wars it has been used from the 49th to the Artic, and from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland to fill Canadian freezers with moose, deer and bear. Your high praise of our national treasure is humbling. Thank you for your kind words.

My Father was a Sniper and Small Arms instructor in the 45 Commando, Royal Marines 1950 - 64, he Iived and breathed the Corp. He swore by the No 4 T using it in Korea, Suez and Aden. I do remember him talking about using a Canadian No 4 T at an imperial meeting (?) in 1960 or 62 where he was runner up. "The best bolt action rifle I've ever used" apparently. He would have absolutely loved this film... thank you

Just a point about single round feeding of the Lee action; if you place the round in or level with the chamber - the extractor claw has to snap around the rim of the cartridge - which requires force, both reducing the smoothness of the action and wearing the extractor claw, which is a fairly delicate component. Best way of single round loading is to press the cartridge into the magazine so it catches under one of the feed lips. Then the bolt scoops up the cartridge and tucks it effortlessly under the extractor claw with no mechanical strain. Superb demonstration of shooting - very enjoyable.

That wood looks insanely good. Such a comfortable looking rifle for being from 1944 with a nice cheek rest. No chin weld required.

The selection of these rifles to be "sniper grade" had to do with "new tooling". When the tooling was changed "brand new" the rifles produced for the first 7 days were considered "sniper grade".

Swedish Mauser was another in 6.5 very good machining little more refined than the Enfield 303 .

I am a CDN infantry veteran and proudly own a 1942 Longbranch.

That is one beautiful rifle. While synthetic stocks are better over all, wood is so much sexier. And the action on the MK4 is like butter.

Long Branch Small Arms Factory was located west of Toronto, some of the buildings are still there. Enfield No.4 Mk1*T rifles were also used by Canadian Snipers during the Korean War. There are also examples of the Long Branch No.4 Mk1* rifles that are receiver marked MP, when issued to the RCMP as service rifles.

I trained with that rifle 8 weeks at Shiloh Manitoba. I have measured off every rifle I have had since Sako, CZ, Remington ect.

That face shot was fuckin' ruthless, absolutely beautiful. =) Some love from Canada my friend! Thanks for the great video. 🇨🇦

Hits at those ranges with S&B ball ammo is very impressive. And we here in Kentucky appreciate your windage adjustments!

Man was sick and still maintains this infectious enthusiasm? What a channel to discover tonight! I love this. Finding myself rooting for you every shot lol

That is utterly beautiful, it looks as if it literally just came out of stores. I grew up on the .303 (British Cadets) and whilst I never got to handle a *T, it's on my bucket list. Thanks for Sharing! 👍

Great episode. My Dad bought a .303 Enfield with a Savage made barrel in about 1960 for $40. I still have it and it still shoots great. Ammo is getting hard to find so I've been loading my own with 150 gr soft points.

I have a Longbranch No4 Mk1* manufactured in 1945. It’s a beautiful rifle and shoots like a dream. I also have a No4 Mk2 in a light coloured stock that was mummified when I purchased it. Beautiful rifle that looks in unissued condition. That sniper T example is gorgeous. Nice shooting as always.

Beautiful rifle. Its amazing you keep finding these old rifles that shoot so well. The No.4* I had was so shot out the bullets would tumble after leaving the muzzle.

Your enunciation and use of English is stellar to say the least. A sign of very high intelligence.

I have ownr a 303 enfield most of my life, best deer hunting rifle, i have used,I was a Canadian armourer for 25 years.😊
