They're still making those aren't they? They weren't the only company to make them but maybe the only common mass-produced ones.

chiappa make them too, but after my 10 minute experience with a chiappa product i wouldnt ever go there again

Ahhh nooooooooooo.
My little Rossi is a cracker. Funnily enough I had to do a little mod to the cartridge lifter to stop the shells coming up underneath occasionally which was a beaytch but otherwise its a trooper.
several people have used it at range shoots and it shoots really well too.
You'll have to prise it from my cold dead hands.

Problems with your circulation?

The oxymoronic 'Blued synthetic' rifle. The Europeans can't seem to get away from them.

I still have a box of 30-30 Accelerator, .224 projectile, I think 55gr. Only fired one round so still got 19, bought it around 1990.

For the same reason that some people wear shoes with valcro straps rather than shoe laces - lack of class.

years back i acquired some 30 cal to 223 sabots. we were shooting them out of a 308 case in a barnard bolt action. never figured how fast we got them the chrono only went up to 5000 fps

Yeah, I think I've used it once to check it worked on my 75 Finnlight and never locked it again.
Luckily its not on my 75 stainless laminate.

I reloaded some.
Waste of time inaccurate as buggery

Aluminium scope bases.

Duralium ones hold better for sure.
There has never been so many aluminium scope bases as now days actually .

True. I was think more of the old sets of ph combos. Horrible.
