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.

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.

It actually doesn't shoot as good as I'd hoped around 1.5" with federal bluebox, I think it's mainly the trigger it's been set really heavy and the grub screws superglued or locktite or something, was going to put some heat on them and try free them up myself but might let someone a bit less agricultural than I am. 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..

Bottom one is a Remington rolling block 45-90 valcan barrel stock built by a very good friend
He’s done a beautiful job
South city yes still .22 Hornet, accurate yes just aim anywhere in the eye at 100yds.
