The Ross rifle is a straight-pull bolt action rifle chambered in .303 British 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 length made the Mk.III (or "1910") Ross rifle unsuitable for the conditions of trench warfare, exacerbated by the often poor quality ammunition issued.

rdfs:comment	Das Ross-Gewehr war eine Schützenwaffe, die zur Ausrüstung des Kanadischen Heeres im Ersten Weltkrieg gehörte. (de) El Ross fue un fusil de cerrojo de acción directa de 7,7 mm notoriamente ineficaz, producido en Canadá desde 1903 hasta mediados de la Primera Guerra Mundial. El Ross tuvo varias fallas en el adverso ambiente de la guerra de trincheras y después de numerosas quejas, se ordenó el reemplazo de todos los fusiles Ross en las tres Divisiones Canadienses por el Lee-Enfield. Sin embargo, los francotiradores apreciaban este fusil. Se produjo por cierto tiempo una versión de cacería que empleaba el nuevo cartucho .280 Ross, así que tanto el fusil Ross como el cartucho .280 "magnum" alcanzaron una considerable reputación internacional entre tiradores, cazadores de ciervos y de grandes presas. (es) Créé par un Écossais, le (en), le carabine à verrou Ross Mark III fut réglementaire dans les forces armées du Canada avant et pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Il fut adopté officiellement par l'armée canadienne en mars 1903 et par la Gendarmerie royale du Canada en 1905, dans sa version Mark I. Doté d'un verrou à armement rectiligne, il tirait une munition spécifique et était très précis au tir. Souffrant de graves défauts, il fut modernisé et modifié pour devenir le Mark II, puis le Mark III en 1914. Il s'avéra bien vite impropre au combat dans la boue et dangereux pour ses utilisateurs, et fut remplacé par le Lee-Enfield Mark III sur le front après avril 1915, puis fut officiellement retiré en septembre 1916.

(en) Il fucile Ross era un fucile a otturatore scorrevole calibro .303 prodotto in Canada tra il 1903 e il 1918 e impiegato dalle forze canadesi durante entrambi i conflitti mondiali. Il Ross Mk. II (comunemente anche noto come M1905) era già un fucile di enorme successo prima della Grande guerra, ma l'estrema precisione richiesta nella lavorazione, la mancanza di un'estrazione primaria e una lunghezza non trascurabile resero il suo successore (Mk. III o M1910) inadatto alle condizioni di guerra di trincea in cui si trovarono impantanate le forze canadesi in Europa. Senza contare la scarsa qualità delle munizioni che venivano fornite ai combattenti. (it)
