This review details the rare Canadian Ross MkIII sniper rifle, noting its high accuracy despite early WWI reliability issues. It highlights the American Warner & Swasey Model 1913 5x prismatic scope, its limitations like fogging, and its calibration for .303 British up to 2400 yards. The excellent condition of many surviving rifles is attributed to their use in Canadian training through 1942, and scope cases can offer significant historical provenance.
This review details the M1903 Springfield rifle paired with the Warner & Swasey M1913 Musket Sight, the primary US sniper weapon in WWI. It highlights the optic's significant 5.2x magnification but also its practical design flaws, including fogging, flaking paint, and a dangerously short eye relief. The review covers its complex adjustments, offset mount for stripper clip use, and field modifications like brass thumb screws to address wobble.
