    Such a variety of great classics cropping up on this thread. Never ceases to amaze me what treasures have been acquired over the decades in this wee country. But now it’s time to drop the standard a bit with my old beater. A BSA P14 action and stock, P17 bolt, Timney trigger and a 24” Hawkins barrel chambered in 7x57 with 1:11 twist. Topped off with the old steel tube Weaver K4w scope on Winchester Mod70 dovetail mounts and rings. Can’t get more of a mongrel than that. Now that it’s in shootable condition, it’ll get its first outing as soon as I can get to the big smoke for some ammo and have it sighted in, then it off down the paddocks for a wander.
