RAWSON Aperture Sight for SMLE No.1 Mk.3

Description:

This very clean & tidy "RAWSON" long range target aperture sight comes complete with all its accessories to enable it to be fitted to any SMLE No.1 Mk.3 type British .303 ex-service rifle. All screws and necessary parts are included. No drilling or tapping is required as the baseplate utilizes existing original screw holes in the rifle's receiver, merely substituting longer mounting screws.

This sight is in very fine, almost new condition & has recently been cleaned, serviced & lubricated. No rust, pitting, damage or butchering anywhere.

The sight's elevation scale plate is clearly marked for yardage settings between 200 & 1,000 yards, as well as in minutes-of-angle via vernier. The windage scale reads in 1/2 m.o.a. via vernier as well. Both elevation & windage winders operate with positive "click" adjustments.

To gain the most from this very robust sight, the windage carrier has a high quality "Sweet - Sydney" 6-hole peep unit installed to enable optimum sighting in any lighting condition likely to be encountered during competition.

The sight itself can be mounted to any one of four (4) separate fixing holes located horizontally along the upper edge of the baseplate. This enables a correct eye relief to be set without any risk of the shooter's eyebrow ever accidentally coming in contact with the sight's eyepiece under heavy recoil.

The sight can be quick-detached and removed from the baseplate, without losing zero, by loosening the "Central" lever-lock screw, thus permitting the rifle's standard-issue open sights to be used. Additionally, a fine-adjustment bushing is fitting inside the upper mounting screw hole of the baseplate to permit the plate & sight to be accurately aligned vertically/horizontally to the rifle, thus eliminating any possibility of "cant".
