The men's team free rifle at 300 metres was one of 15 events on the shooting at the 1908 Summer Olympics programme.
Ole Sæther was the first man to earn multiple medals in the event, having been on the 1900 Norwegian team as well as this year's squad.
This was the second appearance of the men's 300 metre team rifle event, which was held 4 times between 1900 and 1920.
Due to winds blowing against the players, teams with light rifles faced more difficulty.
Finland, Great Britain, Greece, and Sweden each made their debut in the event.
