norsk I take it that the charge goes into the breechblock whilst vertical. Then lowered and the primer goes onto the nipple forward of the trigger guard. The hammer then strikes up! Never seen one of these before. Nice way of keeping your primers dry. What is the reloading time like?
A great thread revised I see. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to show off some lovely firearms.
Heres my meager addition to it

The rifles

Some awesome firearms on here, thanks for sharing everyone. I can only dream of getting a few more at the moment. Here's my entry. The very first rifle I owned and still have it.(only had it for 4 years) it's a BSA CF2 in .308win. I love it started reloading for it and getting good results. I just need to negotiate more time away from the family. Haha bloody hard with two small boys 3-1/2 and 14 months old. Got a 4 night trip coming up start of march though that the BSA will be joining me onAttachment 64251
Hey i41do2 that's pretty awesome looking wood you have there on your cf2 would you mind giving us a pick of the other side! Do you know if it has been restocked at some stage? Most of these came with a rollover check peace. Also had white spaces between all the plastic caps and recoil pads. If it's not been restocked then it might be one of the deluxe cf2 models! Although I think all had a hogs back our step at the back off of the check peace. Do you know it's age?
Gday sideshow, not sure of the age but when I first joined the forum someone told me about a bsa site you could look up based on the serial number. It might have been you. But I have a 3R version and think it was 82-85. I've taken a few more shots for you here, hopefully you can tell me more about it. My friend imported it from the UK, that's about all I know of it.
Cheers

Kimber classic in 270
Looks like it might be a restocked job that you have there i41do2. BSA - John Knibbs International Ltd Here's the web site for what's my bsa? If it's a 3R then made between 73 to 86, yours looks nice and tidy! :thumbsup:
Sweetas, cheers mate, yep it was you that told me about this website. Thanks for that
Yeah she's a very nice rifle. action is a little clunky compared with the weatherby, one day i'll get it tuned when mortgage and kid expenses allow. haha:ORLY:

Yeah good thread this one ( must have missed it first time round )
Here's a couple of mine, must admit I have become more of a fan of beautiful wood - blue guns with age, plus buying more toys :cool:
Recently tidied up Ruger 44 semi
Attachment 64358
Browning Maral, has a very satin finish which doesn't photo that well, It'd due for a decent oil up.
Attachment 64359
Attachment 64360
Browning Evolve Gold up the top, has a unusual pistol grip but it's a nice light shotty that points great. Ruger, Maral & the bottom one is the first bolt action I ever brought a Marlin in 22mag, I stripped it and finished it off with a light Dutch oil, not every ones flavor but I like it as it's something different.

John m I'd love to see more photos of your 602.

Define, "King of Calibers" :)
375 H and H most common and versatile for over 100 yrs in Africa. Plenty of writings refer to it as the king or emperor of African guns.It is used on dik dik to elephants.
There was a Brno 602 in 375H&H on trademe a year back, went for $1500, still kicking myself for not bidding on it.
Spotted that one. Missus talked me out of it. I'll regret it for the rest of my life. It was factory condition :'(
Nice Bruno in full wood 9.3x63 (I think it's 63) on trade me a week or so ago
Anschutz 1712 .22LR with Leupold VX-2 4-12X40 AO. Going to change the mounts to some lower Redfields.
This rifle puts 5 shots of match ammo such as Lapua Midas into one hole measuring .10"-.20" at 50 yards and Lapua Multi-Match into slightly larger holes measuring .25"-30".

Custom 7x57 built on a Mauser 98 Brazilian action - Rigby style sights.
Quick detach scope. Adds weight, but nice to have the option! Highly rate the calibre. Doesn't kick much...esp. in a 8.5# rifle.
That is a beautiful Rifle!
Very nice @Frodo I have its sister, a 404 Jeffery.
Nice mate! Have you posted pics of it in this thread? I've seen images of it on Google before I think. Garry makes a fine stock, aye.
Yep, post #2 on page 1 of this thread. If you come to the big bore shoot you can have a few shots. Bring the 7mm and blast a few targets and wallabies.
I refinnished the Stock on my Mauser.
I have to varnish it to keen the rain out,but its not bad looking.Attachment 66053Attachment 66054Attachment 66056
Very nice rifle! Love the magazine plate too
Yea sum nice rifles have been posted up in last two or thee pages,
Love the Classic Mausers!
Rates a two-cool :cool::cool:
Such a good thread I'd thought I'd try and revive it with a pic of my bro with his 7x57 1908 Brazilian Mauser, collecting some dog tucker.
