This was an especially entertaining read, because this (in .22, so likely a replica I assume) was the rifle I was taught to shoot with, by my mother some time in the 80's.She was rated Expert with her service pistol, but was still a mean shot with rifles. I ended up using what I learned to later teach rifle safety in the Boy Scouts.
All the historically interesting bits aside... I thought the SMLE was a helluva lot of fun to shoot. I'd like to try it again and see if it's still as fun as I thought it was back then. :)
