    Kind of glad this is in the wrong island

    Someone on here please buy it and tell us how it shoots...

    I saw this listing you may be interested in: Baikal single shot in 303 British with Gunworks suppressor https://www.trademe.co.nz/3765566647
    I know a lot but it seems less every day...

    I like it
    He nui to ngaromanga, he iti to putanga.

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    @Jhon just buy it and @Micky Duck or I will pick it and and arrange getting it to you

    It's been listed for a while and no takers
    So he might let it go cheap

    I hope prune down doesn't mean cutting the original timber back? That terminology has me worried.

    Ha, yeah not the greatest choice of words. I find it harder to let go than acquire. So pruning the collection rather than the individual rifle is indicated. Better to have one great shooter than 10 mediocre ones. Then again, projects are such fun. Where to draw the line....?

    this rifle conversion is one that has always appealed to me.... simple to do and the old 303brit is a great round.... having played just a little with black powder,the thought of poking a 220grn cast out with case full of BP has quite an appeal....

    Man your wife is lucky you are hoarding modestly priced rifles

    Leave some pictures up on the computer of 10k kipplauf
    Plenty of those out there
    Baikal is functionally the same

    I can be hard on a bangstick when carrying out a heavy load of venison or pork....they get a good clean when home again,but the thought of blood n sweat on a 10K rifle ...yeah nah... not for me.
