I recently acquired this rifle for a nice chunk of change but I regret literally nothing. This is a 1944 No.4 Mk.1 "Trials" rifle converted by factory to "T" standard to accept a No.32 Mk.2 scope and mount. The wood on the end is a cheek riser that helps the shooter line up with the scope when it is installed. I'm thinking of getting a reproduction scope and mount for now as this rifle was not cheap and by god an original scope would kill my bank account now.
Mirror bright bore and barrel, pristine bolt, perfect two-stage trigger with the cleanest break of every rifle I own, and a micro-meter marksman's flip-up rear sight. Even if it did not have a scope, it is every bit of a perfect rifle to hold and own. One of my dream rifles soon to be set and ready for the range. I almost feel bad for wanting to shoot it. Almost.
