Beautiful day; time for a British shoot off of the two iconic rifles in my collection

[45flint]

Back from shooting. Impressions:

1. BSA is much harder to cock, at my age a bit of a strain. Sight picture with open sight is as good as it get I think, very fine detail. I see little difference in the triggers. Below I think the BSA is a bit more accurate.




2. Webley is much easier cocking, not an issue doing it all day. Being the shorter rifle it has a little bit better feel, a little lighter. My sight picture with the open sight is not as fine but I have a MK 3 open sight on mine. Aperture sight is better but had similar results, I may need a bit of practice with it to get the most out of it. Below it is accurate but the BSA is just tuff competition on this point. I think the Webley may be a little more hold sensitive, lighter and shorter?
