Here is the promised range report with a couple of upgrades to my NO 4 (T). I found a proper WW1 dated sling on Ebay and I decided to cobble up a period correct leather scope cover ( as near as I could determine from the all-knowing web).
The sling is 1918 made by Westboro Trunk & Bag Co.
This is my first target at 100 yds. The highest shot was a "sighting shot prior to one adjustment. The weapon is quite capable of much better I feel. There is substantial take-up in the trigger but it breaks predictably at about 4.5 - 5 lbs. I would say. The only issue for me is the reticle is rather chunky (fat and roundish) compared to German and American scopes of the same period. It was difficult with my old eyes to find the same aiming point each shot. I will probably not shoot it enough to get comfortable with the sight picture.
