Not a new rifle . Looks like a Webley screw grip third fastener . Not made since 1940s.

Yes it is - it really surprised me . But it works well .

I just remembered my 303 double rifle is regulated for 100 yards - again bullets striking an inch high and in parallel . Seems to like 180 grain bullets at 2500fps . This rifle is scoped and easily took an Axis deer at about 130 yards. Bullet hit where I aimed .

Yes I can understand your confusion. Plenty of wild sheep for hunting in NZ and goats too. However the Cormo sheep I used to breed in Tasmania were for both meat and wool .

I had a 500NE double built in the UK . It was finished in 2018 . It has 24 inch barrels . Regulated with Norma ammo in UK . I asked for it to be regulated for 50 yards . The result is 2 shots side by side - essentially in parallel . I specifically did not want them touching . The bullet speed on...

Yes plenty of them . I actually used to buy Corridale Rams ( a New Zealand sheep - big heavy set meat sheep ) and cross breed them with merino sheep . They are called Cormo . Good fine wool and good meat producers .

NZ is a wonderful place to visit . Great wing shooting , deer and sheep hunting . Lovely people , culture and safe . The scenery is glorious . Food is great , local wines are excellent . Just leave the Sauvignon Blanc on the shelf . All this coming from an Aussie !

That’s a very flash Gun Club . Your loads for the 500NE look perfect . I am assuming you have 26 inch barrels on the 500 .

It was sold to someone . I don’t know who .

No I deleted them . But another AH member has posted some pics of it .

That’s it . Regulated for 140 grain pills . I know the former owner well and he offered it to me . Just not what I want .

Everyone should have a 425 . They are great .

I recently passed on a Westley Richards 303 rifle . Made for an Australian in 1920s. It was not a true slant box but a WR concoction . It had an extended magazine extending nearly in line with the trigger guard . The magazine was fixed and wasn’t hinged . I should have bought it because it was...

You are a man after my own heart . That is the gap I want to fill as well . I have two 303 Lee Speed rifles and a Purdey double rifle . Very keen for a slant box .

I know there are 4 slant box 303s here in OZ. Three Rigby’s one of which is a takedown and a Daniel Fraser takedown .
