   What Marty Henry said. If you are seeing deer within 200 metres then you dont need to know any of that stuff. Just sight your rifle in so it groups 2.5 - 3 inches high at 100 metres, and then shoot a...

   WEll, yes, same as any rifle manufacturer, they put their name on them. All of their rifles (or the ones ive seen apart from some early ones) had RIGBY on the top of the receiver, and then under...

   They sold their "high velocity" 7mm sporting rifles with the sights regulated for their specific brand of HV 140 grain ammunition, and you were supposed to only buy that. You will see it often...

   American gun writers always try and explain it and get it wrong, simply because they never called it a .275" in their country. The truth is that the 7x57 was just commonly known as the .275 in the...

   it's a very good cartridge to have. With a good rifle design (like a Mauser 98 or any modern action type) with a 24 inch barrel you can load the 140 grain bullet up to 2950-3000 fps and the 160 grain...

    I wish I still had that box, it was an unopened box of fifty that my father found in the back of some gunshop and sent it to me. I would like it just to have on display, since I am a .44/40 fiend....

    Ryan Songhurst is right. It's a BSA Viscount in 7x57. I have had a couple. (In America it was sold as a "BSA Royal" if you're googling around and come across that.) They are good rifles. When they...
