They are Sportmatch from Gunworks, like Parker Hale only come in 2 heights so anything scope wise over 40mm objective forces you into the highs.Quote:

@Mathias , nice , I still have my original Buttplate off my Viscount , if somebody has an original rifle missing a Buttplate you know who to PM .

Got a very nice 4x one of those with slightly fatter sniper reticle with ph rings and several sets of bases from red rover (rip) last year. Good price tooQuote:

Cheers tetawa, I went to Gunworks and asked about the Sportmatch as I have a set on a 22. They told me that Sportmatch only come in 15mm.Quote:

Was thinking of machining down an old set of PH rings ( bottom half) then fitting a picatinny rail to them, easier to fit a night vision to the rail.Quote:

Interesting old book 1971 by Frank de Haas Has a good section on commercial turn bolt actions and rifles. Has a great section on BSA rifles including a page on the Majestic parts and prices.Also has a lot of dimensions of actions etc. Includes Royal, Majestic, Monarch and U9. It's an American book hence some difference in model names.
There are about 6 pages on the BSA models I could put on this section if members are interested but will take a bit of room to do so. May help with a lot of queries regarding models, dates etc. Bearing in mind it won't have Viscount and Imperial models shown as such being American.
I've dealt with the guy at Premium Optics in AUS and he's a good bugger. But given the AUS firearms laws he will only send Rifle parts to AUS addresses. Bit like NV Gear from the US - a pain in the arse!Quote:

Page 233 is the one I posted showing the Majestic parts. Some interesting reading here.
@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.
Amazing the detail in some of these old books. This one has a lot of sporting rifles plus military etc.
Hi Tentman, Did he also have a very nicely wooded Ruger #1 in 243 ? Probably 1970's vintage.Quote:

Up the hill in the dark before 6.00am for 6.15am sunrise, wind in my face. Got busted on my left so stopped and watched as 3 - 4 disappeared into a stand of native. A couple of steps, look to the right and there's the hind looking directly at me...freeze until she puts her head down. She immediately lifts it up again but I'm ready for that and when she puts her head down again, I slip in behind a couple of punga stumps, find a steady rest and squeeze off on her neck at 120m.
Few BSA for sale on the Yellow site at the moment.

Have a few early model BSA spares here.
Did anyone ever buy a majestic in 308 from taumarunui with a pitted barell about 25 years ago. Didn't know what we had back then. Would love to know what happened to it
thinking about old rifles we used to have from a description can anyone identify the model Marlin I had for a short time - now it was bloody awfull but its the only one I have ever seen and no would not like it back - bought as a pig rifle - it was a lever action in 30 M1 - box mag - the bolt from memory was square and it looked like the action was two pieces of stamped steel joined together- bloody horrible and did not last long with me - cant find any reference to any Marlin like it - just interested
