BSA270 man thats some good reading there. I have John Walkers large book on rifles and it's reasonably detailed but not a concise at this, thanks for posting.

For reference, BRNO 600 & 601 rings fit the BSA dovetails once you machine off the recoil lug on the rear ring set. I have a set of Aussie Hilver rings that I did that to for my 222 Hunter. Another...

I've only ever seen one 257 Roberts Viscount in NZ for sale, surely there must be more.

Pretty sure bunji called for a new thread on the BSA sporting rifles of yesteryear. I have owned a few Viscount 7x57's and a near new Hunter in 222. I was once a member of an NZ BSA interest group...
