    Oh, @Dicko it's 1956 BSA Viscount, 308. As mentioned have just bought a 7x57 also, this one is an anomaly but more about that once its in my possesion. I know I've bought and sold shit tonnes of rifles of all sorts of flavors but I think I may have found my niche and I like the idea of collecting a few BSA's

    @Ryan_Songhurst did you ever get rid of the P14 303 with a stuffed barrel ages ago?

    Very nice!
    Heres my two 1870s carbines.. the saddle ring cavalry carbine reciever has remanance of nickel plating too. The artillery/train carbine has a 10/10 bore so I have converted the rimfire block to centerfire..

    New to me recently

    Swedish military rolling block with a difference
    Commercially re finished action that has been re ground to octagonal reciever and all military marks expertly surface ground off action sides
    Re colour case hardened
    New walnut stock
    Nice fore end Schnabel tip
    New at refurb barrel in 12.7x44R and 9/10 condition
    Nickel plated trigger, hammer and breech block
    All parts number marked 62
    So likely a small run sporting conversion

    A little playing with loads and bullets and it's shooting superbly with the existing open sights

    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    In keeping with a bit of a theme of mine recently.
    Went bush stalking goats with a 32" barrelled Pedersoli Sharps 1874 long range rifle. Using black powder loaded 45-70 with 405gr cast projectiles.
    I got two at about 10m. Partner got 3 with a 6mm-223.
    Was bloody hot and humid in the thick Waitomo bush. I can also confirm the Sharps is as heavy as it looks.
