Yes, so the big aperture bit of this footage has been used in an earlier Extra Vid. But what are these Extra Vids for, if not for re-cycling footage to illustrate specific points? In this case, that the Lee-Enfield No.4 big aperture isn't less accurate than the small aperture to any meaningful de...

So back in 2016, Bloke filmed the Murtenschiessen in early-BotR quality, with the history of the Battle of Murten 1476.

This year, both Bloke and Chap were invited to shoot by the Société de Tir de la Ville de Fribourg, one of the oldest shooting clubs in Switzerland, founded in 1493, so only a ...

So we deliberately overstressed a Lee-Enfield No.4 rifle, with .300 WinMag cartridges, both dry and oiled. What happened?

K...

So, after his Tikka T3x Arctic / C19 Canadian Rangers Rifle was returned from warranty repair, Mike takes a look at it and gives it a good wringing out at 300m on the range with SalTech and GGG 308 Win ammunition.

Bloke takes his shiny new Tikka T3x Arctic out to 300m and tests it against his trusty 1943 Long Branch Lee Enfield No.4 off the bag, and offhand standing, kneeling and prone.

There's a little disappointment in places...

Bloke and Chap take on the Karabinerschiessen 2019 over open sights to see if they can medal in a "proper" competition.

Course of fire is: 2 sighters, 3 individual shots, 1x3 shot string, 1x4 shot string. No time limit.

Mike takes on the challenge of the October 2019 Historic Service Rifle match at the National Shooting Centre, Bisley, UK, with his trusty 2-groove Long Branch made Lee-Enfield No.4 in .303 British. This match consisted of 5 practices at 100, 200 and 300 yds, with the rifles shot "as-issued". Divi...

Bloke takes his 1903A3 Springfield for a spin in .30-06 on the mad minute course. Bit disappointing this one - it'll get another go-around when he's had time to polish the bolt and bearing surfaces in the action cos it's parkerised to death.

Bloke pops into Schloss The Chap with an awesome birthday present. He finds The Chap hard at work in the workshop naturally :-)

Bloke's shooting at the Bloke on the Range Bolt Action Challenge. With a K31 in 7.5x55 GP11. Cos he screwed up and had loaned his .303" Lee-Enfield No.4 out to someone else while forgetting he had to take himself into account...

Bloke takes his Tikka T3x Arctic to the October 2019 Civilian Service Rifle League Match at Bisley, UK and shoots it instead of his habitual .303 Lee-Enfield No.4. How did he get on?

Calvin (aka Phúc Long of Firepower United) pops his proper British made .303 charger cherry. And we got the reaction!

Thanks to the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada Museum: https://www.seaforthhighlanders.ca/home-museum Please pay them a visit!

A very brief look at an unconverted German Gewehr 88 (which nevertheless had had the chamber re-cut for the spitzer S-Patrone), which had not been converted to an 88/05 ...

So Calvin (aka Phúc Long of Firepower United) was doing a little tour of Europe, and asked me whether I could teach him how to run a bolt-action rifle quickly. Since he's such a Top Bloke I took him to Brünig Indoor, and taught him how to run a Lee-Enfield action quickly, using both my No.4 in .3...

Welcome to Bloke on the Range Strip Club, where we're only interested in one thing: Will It Strip. This episode: can a Russian or Chinese Mosin-Nagant charger be used to load a 7.5x55 Swiss rifle, namely a K31 or a K11, G11, M1911, G96/11 or whatever you want to call them today? Let's find out......

By a lot of popular request, here's a Mad Minute with a Finnish M24 Mosin-Nagant in 7.62x54R. How disasterous could it possibly be?

After some competition and mad-minuting, it's about time we take a look at the difference between the pre-war and post-war versions of the MAS 36 and see how the design was optimised for easy manufacturing without compromising on performance.

Continuing the Mad Minutes series, here's what happens with 1100fps light cast bullet loads in a .303 British Lee-Enfield No.4. Includes a comparison with the original No.4 Mad Minute footage

Chappy tries his hand at the début de siècle pre-WW1 French Berthier Cavalry Carbine exercises. How does he do with his 8x50R Lebel M16 Berthier Mousqueton?

So, it turns out that Neil of The Wirksworth Gunroom was looking after a very interesting piece that I had no prior knowledge of: BSA's competitor to the trials which resulted in the adoption of the 5.56mm L98A1 Cadet GP monstrosity rifle that I suffered as a CCF cadet at school back in the 90's....
