Dave Barham reveals the long-awaited Sentry PCP from Lee Enfield Guns Ltd

Mean Machine!
This new rifle from Lee Enfield has been a long time coming. The guys at The Shooting Party, who have exclusive distribution rights, have been telling me about it for well over a year and now it’s here! What’s more, it is fully regulated, giving consistent shot count as well as accuracy and all for less than £400!

GREAT DESIGN

The first thing you’ll notice about this unique PCP rifle is that it has a combination thumbhole wood/ polymer stock. Without the scope attached I think it resembles a pump-action shotgun – well, it would do if it were not for the thumbhole stock – but as soon as you slap some glass on top, it changes the entire aesthetics of the rifle and it becomes a real mean machine!

The wooden part of the stock is made from hand-oiled European beech, and I must say it really does look the part. If I had one little niggle, though, it would be the tiny holes where the cheek riser screws are. If someone has taken the time to hand-oil the stock, surely they could have had a quick swipe inside these holes with a small paintbrush, too? Whilst I’m on the subject of the cheek riser, this is made from rubberised polymer, and has three set levels of height adjustment.

The steel barrel has a polymer silencer on the end, which can be removed and changed via the ¼” UNF thread.
