Thread: Oldest active hunting rifle

Ok, Both my sons have carried and shoot deer and Goats with their Grandfathers 1960's Sav 99 in 243.
Scope was also 1960's vintage Hertel & Reuss 2.75 x 26.5mm post and rail. Sent it back to Gemany a few years back as it started getting cloudy and it came back like new on the inside, polished and re-coated.
In the late 80's- early 90's I shot a lot of rabbits with my Mum's BSA martini action single shot 22 target rifle. (indoor range on Thursday nights and local dairy farms after uni lectures),

Started shooting with a Remington No 6 Rolling Block. Dates to around WW1. Had it out again a few months back and rabbits to 50 mtrs would be dead.
