. The Ross rifle is a straight-pull bolt action .303 inch-caliber rifle that was produced
in Canada from 1903 until 1918. The Ross Mk.II (or "model 1905") rifle was highly
successful in target shooting before World War I, but the close chamber tolerances,
lack of primary extraction and overall length made the Mk.III (or "1910") Ross rifle
unsuitable for the conditions of trench warfare, exacerbated by the often poor quality
ammunition issued.
By 1916, the rifle had been withdrawn from front line service, but continued to be
used by many snipers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force until the end of the war
due to its exceptional accuracy.
