Ok so took the 103 year old rifle out, 180 gr federals at 100 yards a little high and to the left.
Markings on the rifle indicate it was made in England and sent to Africa then decommissioned from military service sold to the general public. From what I gather on the Internet.
Either way here's the results, gonna tighten it up a bit tomorrow as I was getting use to the sight picture and the trigger creeeeep.
"Take up the backlash" then send it....could only imagine trying to be accurate when all hell was breaking loose around you.
