My original Lee-Enfield No.4T sniper rifle obviously has a scope, but the No.4 does start to struggle once you get beyond 700-800 yards.

My eyesight can just about still manage to use battle sights at 100yrds ranges, and once or twice a year I give my Lee-Enfield No.5 an airing at 100 yrds for a bid of 'mad-minute' range fun
Sauer Mauser, premier maker, very nice indeed.
Always loved the L-E mad minute moniker. I'll have to give it a go to see how many I can get off accurately in a min with one of my bolts.
Some fine battle rifles you have there.
