So they seem to run concurrently.
I wondered if C.G Bonehill only supplied the R RAMSBOTTOM sureshot marked rifles with the simpler two leaf rearsight and only fitted the Bonehill Patented see saw sight on their own ‘ C.G Bonehill Britannia’ rifles but I’ve seen both types with the see saw sight.

maybe the third one was what 45 flint had on his recently acquired Britannia.

Hi Matt,

The Anglo Sure Shot was made concurrently with the Cox marked Britannia - Ramsbottom being a large dealer that had the buying power to have the rifles made for him marked with his name. Other than the markings, the Anglo Sure Shot was identical to the standard Britannia.

As for sights, a laterally drift adjustable fixed elevation rearsight was first, then the two leaves, then the spring leaf and finally the seesaw sight.

I've written a draft on the Britannia, which I'd like to self publish at some point but bearing in mind the BSA book required quite a few £ thousand to publish, I'm not sure there is the same level of demand for the Britannia and I don't want to compromise on quality.

Kind regards,

John
