But now he’s mentioned it……. something about eye bleach now…… gumpy

The first motorbike I ever fell off was a bsa bantam….in my parent’s backyard gumpy

Missed this before, lovely wood on that. I would get it bedded as it’s a big cartridge and factory stocked rifles rarely have good fitting inletting , and it will (should)have a loose recoil lug on the barrel that really needs to be bedded, I bed the action first, then the barrel lug, making...

You need something smaller for hunting rabbits gumpy

Although I've used BSA rifles the only ones I own are martini cadets made by BSA gumpy

Ah, but Bob, the ruger , whilst a fine cartridge, is boring, therefore one must strive to achieve greater things. I am always one to "encourage " people to build bigger and better things gumpy

I concur with this, and somewhere I’ve got a copy of an article that goes into detail on how to make it in a double square bridge. I’ll have a look ,but I’m sure it’s in a box packed away for the move up the farm……along with all sorts of gear I’m missing…. Gumpy

He’s a gunsmith by trade, he’ll make whatever you pay him for, when he gets to it, and that is part of the problem, he’s currently employed Monday to Friday by APRS/ Nightforce as their lead smith over here, he often doesn’t feel like working all weekend as well, I can but ask him. gumpy

My now deceased friend shot a duiker with his 375 and woodleighs, it punched a neat hole through the animal, which dropped on the spot, made a full body mount with it. gumpy

Oh dear….did you mean "does"……I’m I going to have to get Theanimal to join this forum…. and as to PF not feeding, as said before, it will mostly be operator error in short stroking the bolt, not always, sometimes mag springs, sometimes dirty ammo jamming, stuff that happens to CRF as well gumpy

Well, I shot a charging rabbit once, great big mashing teeth on the wee beastie….. no pictures though, everyone was too busy laughing at me…..mostly as I had stepped in a rabbit hole and was up to my thigh in it when the rabbit came at me. gumpy

I must learn how to , A)take decent pictures B) learn how to post them. I don’t have any exciting things like a lot on here, an 1820-39 14g percussion double shotgun, 1916 savage 99 takedown, several 1910-13 martini cadets, a large frame martini in 450-400 2 3/8, 1907 model92 baby saddle ring...

There is a company over in the US that repair old scopes, can’t remember the name of them, I recall reading about them on the ASSRA forum, father and daughter or something like that. gumpy
