The Ross .303 rifle was initially issued to Canadian troops during World War 1. It was highly accurate, but due to its unreliability it was unsuitable for use in the muck and grime of the trenches and so was retained only by snipers and marksman. The rest of Canadian forces were reissued with the Lee-Enfield .303 SMLE.
