SMLE Rem 600 Clone

Interesting read. Seems that since 2011 they have been issued a Tikka patrol rifle chambered in 308 Win. Nice looking!

Sounds like an interesting gig. They give you a rifle with ammo then pay you to enjoy the great outdoors :-)

Here's a link to a story on CBC about the new rifle:



Will be interesting to see what happens the Rangers' 7,000 Lee-Enfield rifles.

Picked up the SMLE Rem 600 clone today and being a 600 guy, I'm impressed with the length someone went through to replicate the style with the Lee Enfield. A lot of attention to detail in the work. I remove the "huge" scope that came with it and put a compact Bushell with low rings and it compliments the sighting plain well. The rib has a "post" rear sight and a dovetailed front sight, the work is well thought out.



The Redfield Jr Rem 600 IER mount will fit well on the rib and would need to be drilled an tapped for it. After seeing the work on the rifle, I'm not sure if I will use it or not as the integral mounts would need to be removed but I see them as someone's work of art.

Nice looking rifle. Looking forward to seeing how well it groups and what kind of bullet powder combo you work up for it.
