@50 yards with plain old Aguilla ammo. Trigger is pretty bad on the SMLE, so it was a challenge

Be aware that the "mint" Lithgow is possibly a JJCo rifle put together from surplus parts. They are very nice looking, but they are not military trainers.What do these go for? My LGS has a MINT Lithgow MkIII SMLE 22LR that looks new, but is $750 asking - yikes!

My Enfield trainer is dead nuts accurate with Augila target ammo, and one of the quietest 22 rifles I own. With hearing protection, all I hear is the click of the striker, and that is felt through the cheek more than heard. My first time out, I actually assumed a squib or misfire until I saw a hole in the bullseye. I love these rifles.
Yes, it would be great to pick one up for $250, but if I had $700 and no one would be hurt by my spending it on one of these rifles, well....
Thanks, guys.Alan De Enfield wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2017 10:26 amGreat (and cheap) fun.
Had a day at the 100yd range, with my No1 Mk3, No2 Mk4*, No4, No4T and L42.
Just finished shooting the No1 Mk3 and switched over to the No2 Mk4* when the range officer ordered a cease fire due to a FTF.
It turned out to be me that had the FTF, but in fact he had not realised that I had changed from the No1 to the No2 (well you wouldn't would you) he hadn't heard the 'bang' - "laughs" all round.
The good thing about a .22rf on a 100 yard range is that you can fire, leave the position, go and put the kettle on, make a cup of tea and be back before the bullet 'hits the bull'. (slight exaggeration - but it seems hell of a long wait)
