    Just been gawking over this thread. @FRST would you happen to still own that rifle?

    Another one of my projects, a new stock for my old Winchester 70 fwt in .30/06. To me the Winchester model 70 was always the handsomest of rifles. She always shot well, any weight of bullet into exactly an inch group. This rifle has always been lucky which is very important in a hunting rifle. She still has to get a horn or ebony black foreend tip. Or maybe I'll leave it. Not sure...
    Plainly I have gone old school here. Obviously all the fleur de Lises will make shooting deer easier.

    Now that John Duxbury is just LUVERLEY!!

    And a very good point about this rifle being 'lucky'. Some just are, and some just aren't eh.

    This rifle and scope package had a short working holiday with me a few years ago
    I repaired a couple of small faults and had the joy of getting it all going reasonably well
    Range shot it a bit and even shot a hare that wandered through my 100m range one day

    But it went back to its owner and was definately not for sale
    There was still a serious problem to solve with the extremely tight match chamber
    But because that involved some hand reaming to sort I did not undertake the repair

    Yesterday morning I was advised it was mine to buy at a very reasonable price
    I arrived at the specified time with the money and here it is

    Now to consult the .22 LR rifle chamber guru on this forum and tickle out a micron or two from the lead of the chamber

    The thing about a High Wall .22 rifle is that it's pretty tricky to get a tiny case into the chamber !

    The Winder musket third variation were all made in a low wall receiver and a lot easier to load and unload
