Secure box with sovereign's rifle (10)
I believe the answer is:
winchester
'rifle' is the definition.
(I know that Winchester is a type of rifle)
'secure box with sovereign's' is the wordplay.
'secure' becomes 'win' (I've seen this in another clue).
'box with' becomes 'chest' (chest is a kind of box. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'sovereign' becomes 'er' (Abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'win'+'chest'+'er'='WINCHESTER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for winchester that I've seen before include "School" , "Hampshire city" , "Rifle < hard disk" , "Cathedral city - rifle - bottle" , "Gunnery" .)
