The groove on the Alex Henry forend tip is debated - but most likely explanation is for resting on shooting sticks in classical Highland stalking fashion.Quote:

BSA Regent .222
Recent purchase, just in the process of a quick tidy up. Done a heap of work and the barrel is tired, so going to re-barrel to .222 or my favourite- 6x45
@Hunter_Nick - is that the BSA from Kaikoura H&F ?? I looked at one done like that a long time ago there . . . if it is the same one I'd shoot it first, the barrel looked like it'd shoot to me . . . .
It sure is. I was down that way a week or so ago and just couldn’t resist. I think a lot of guys wouldn’t like the stock carving but I actually like it. I bet it was someone’s pride and joy at some time. I’ll give it time to see how it goes, it’s already put some meat in the freezer for me!Quote:

This thing probably cost someone a bunch of cash back in the day with wraparound chequering, barrel sling swivel, schnabel etc. Barrels still got plenty of sharp rifling, and the best thing is that it was only $80. Pretty sure it’s the cheapest centrefire I’ve ever bought.

did you catch episode of NZ Hunter when they took Tararua Hunter up hill and Willie shot deer with his old 303???? was rather priceless .
I think I used to own that.Quote:

The little fucker traded it on a T3 a few months later.
Hopefully a happy reunion can take place.Quote:

With the original profile mag it's one of the a-c models.
If it has a bsa barrel it's a C I think.
Looks good
@Norse that's pretty crap really.

Not mine but drooling
Bought a BSA CF2 .308 off a forum member a while back for $450. Barrel good, blueing not bad.
The stock was in worse shape than the sale implied, with a fair bit of "accurizing" which was clearly not done by a gunsmith. Fair for the price and you need that money for the next rifle. Perfect for yours truly.
Perfect because I got a call yesterday to say I have a brand new original stock for it.
Not everyone loves a CF2 as its the broke cousin of the real BSAs
But if you are a physically big dude and you want to shoot open sights, try one for fit. The sights align perfectly for me. Fits like a glove with perfect sight alignment every time.
Now I just need a sight hood and to take the bases off and I have my fast shooting open sight 308. Sako Battue style.
Pics to follow.
Owned a CF2 in .308. First centre fire scoped rifle I had. Traded it for a Brno 601 in .308. No regrets. Regret trading the Brno though...Quote:

Some of them had a really nice dark stain and varnished finish to them. Other were quite blond and not so nice.Quote:

Hi @Ryan_Songhurst yes it was me. It's a fantastic -1/2 shooter with old Corelokt. It's had a bit of a tart up with different rings and period scope.Quote:

Can't post photos. Chiphone won't let me.
Got the new stock on the old CF2 and it looks like new. Slightly scuffed new, but it's shiny.
Genuinely delighted with this rifle. The stock shape is such that when I pull it up to the shoulder the open sights are perfectly aligned. Need to load some round nose 308.
Looks sharp with bases removed. Just need a front sight hood.

Minus scope and mounts I think this thing comes into its own. This thing it seriously fun to shoot, for me anyway. Plinked all my 308 already.
Everyone is happy because the old stock found a very happy new owner who is very proud of her "rifle".https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...377741ed4d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2267bccdc1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2420622fda.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ad55a7312b.jpg
