Typical very functional british express sights

215 grain regulation and cordite proofs
Reputed to shoot well
Can't remember if there's an original case
Do remember that it was nice in the hand and felt good to swing and sight

Don't need one
Do want one
Just knowing where to find one is half the fun

Greetings @akaroa1,
Thanks for the info. The description alone gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
Your last three lines sum things up well.
We of a certain age have mostly made our peace with the fact that since long ago we have had all the rifles we could possibly NEED. But we do delight in owning, loading for and shooting these neat old rifles, or just handling them or knowing that they exist. May this always be so.
Regards Grandpamac.
