Bryan, I am amazed that a small-bore Enfield or British made Kerr rifle can be fired, with accruacy, at a distance of 1,000 yds., but I'm sure they were. To use an old Arkansas Hillbilly experssion, thats a "fur piece". I was once on an anti-sniper team, and the longest distance we ever fired, on targets, was 500 meters. That was with the old M-1 rifle modified with a scope.
