Modern Use

Modern reproductions of Whitworth rifles are manufactured by companies such as Parker Hale, Pedersoli, and Euro Arms. These rifles are used by Civil War re-enactors and those who have an interest in 19th century weapons. Many riflemen enjoy using these rifles in target shooting competition at ranges up to 600 yards.

Famous quotes containing the word modern:

    A modern fleet of ships does not so much make use of the sea as exploit a highway.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    He was naturally so sensitive, and so kind. But he had the insidious modern disease of tolerance. He must tolerate everything, even a thing that revolted him.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
