The Ten-X Rifle Company is not to be confused with either the Ten-X Manufacturing Company of Iowa, U.S.A.,
or the Ten-X ammunition developed and marketed by Imperial Chemical Industries ( I.C.I) and their subsidiary Eley,
which latter suject is covered by the Miniature Calibre Cartridges page.
In the post-war years of the 1940s and 1950s, the company advertised their expertise as in the advertisement below.
Additionally, they were responsible for the production of the Ten-X barrelled Barnett target rifle
shown in the 1948 dated advertisement below.
The company also marketed the famous canvas Ten-X shooting jackets used by
very large numbers of target shooters after the Second World War.
It is not unusual to see some of them still in use by the older members of many shooting clubs.
One such can be seen in a short video clip shown on our page for the Skirmisher shoot, and
earlier photographs of a shooter wearing one are to be found on the page for the
WILKINSON PORTABLE SUB-TARGET MACHINE
