Accuracy of P-H Naval Rifle Barrels

[Southron Sr.]

The original Enfield Navy Rifles produced exceptional accuracy, but I don't recall many top N-SSA shooters using repro P-H Naval Rifles to win team and individual medals.

Of course, maybe I just haven't been paying close enough attention. So, how accurate are the P-H Naval Rifles? Both the Birmingham made repros and the Italian versions.

What is your opinion and/or experiences with the repro P-H Naval Rifles in the accuracy department?

THANKS!

My English made 1858 will print a three shot cloverleaf of under an inch at 50 yards.

Don’t want to make this a "Army-Navy" thing. So, since this is limited to “Naval” rifles, I won’t mention the superb accuracy of the Pattern 1860 “Army” rifles in 1:48. Considering I have broken as many as seven 2" pots in as many consecutive shots at 50 yards at a National with my 1859 Liege-contract rifle, I don't think I would care to be a standing target within 200 or 300 yards and let some fool shoot at me!
