Since the iron sights are marked up for such, just wondered if any members on here ever tried for a 2000 yard shot??

Just curious as to what the SMLE designers and or Ordnance inspectors/ect were shooting at when they went for 2000 yards???

I have to imagine that a man size target at 2000 yards using iron sights would be quite a challenge.

Yeah, a hunter I knew in the '60s made a 2000 yard shot. At the end of his hunt he fired his deer rifle into the air. The bullet came down through the roof of a trailer about 2000 yards away. Fortunately no one was harmed! Jeff
