    Very nice example. Still in .22 Hornet? Have you shot it? I have one as well. Haven’t used it yet. Mine is a 1949.

    Walnut and blued steel,

    Nice old BSA Ryan. Calibre? 7x57 or back to .270W?

    Continuing on the .22 Hornet theme. I picked this rifle off the rack of a Gunshop about 10 years ago. Looking at the floor plate I thought it was a .270 or .30-06.

    I got a surprise when it was in my hands.





    It’s a 48 build model 70. Full size rifle.
    A great shooter to boot.

I'll reload for it and see if I can get that a bit better but it will only ever really be a 300m rifle with what I'll use it for anyhow. @Rock river arms hunter picked up my 7x57 today so keen to get that up and running also

    A nice early Model 70 Winchester. Very nice! I imported a few tidy used BSA Hunter .22 Hornets about 12 years ago from the UK and they sold very quickly. I wish I had kept one!

    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?

    I too have a soft spot for a BSA. Lovely looking example you've got there Ryan.
    I had a .308 Monarch once that had a stuffed barrel and I got a gunsmith to put on a take off barrel from a target shooters rifle. Shot about .5-.75 after that. Was really cheap to do, one of the good things bout a .308, plenty of second hand barrels that have lost their edge for target shooting but have thousands of rounds worth of hunting accuracy left..
