Thread: My mate has bought a Service Rifle, bugger!

Update. So thks again for all the input. In the end I decided not to go down the Lee-Enfield ( there ya go @JohnDuxbury ) path despite getting a very good offer of a Mark IV No1 from a forum member. I expect my shoulder is at its best now as it will ever be so the milder recoil of a 6.5x55 Swede will take me further down thru the years. The sights may be less than the Mark IV but I suspect the inherent accuracy of the Swede will compensate for that to some degree.

That being said, a beautiful Husqvarna M38 is on its way to me. All I need now are some stripper clips. And lots of target projectiles...
