Smile I have one too

I think that Ross got a bad rap. The last thing Britain wanted was Canada manufacturing small arms. Sam Hughes was an idiot or mentally ill and that has all been laid at the Ross rifle's door. It was a very popular deer rifle in its day.

The action and sight are very advanced for 1914, even to-day.
