Pics of my new trainer

Probably the most popular caliber firearm in most of the world. Many of us have more than one. They also are very collectible and still cheap to shoot.

Not as nice as yours Peter but i got to shoot this one yesterday and was pleasantly surprised at the the way it shot. All i have to do now is persuade the owner that he NEEDS to sell it to me. :D

A nice companion for my No. 8.

Would you mind scanning me one of those NSRA 50m targets Peter as i am a bit of an anorak for collecting and shooting on the older type of target.

Joe :D

Old targets

Post by PeterN2 » Mon Mar 05, 2007 5:56 pm

Joe, I had a rummage in the target store at the club tonight and came up with a few various old targets from the SMRC days through the 50s and 60s. If you are interested, email me your address and I will put them in the post to you.

Regards

Peter.

In the post

The targets will be in the post tomorrow Joe. I hope you find some of interest.

I see the rifle you shot has the comversion markings on the left butt socket. Mine has no markings there. I wonder why mine is not marked?

Regards

Peter.

peter , im thinking yours was converted by a private party , the buttstock looks to be a no4 , they used proper parts for the rest i think , she shoots so well that i woulg guess someone who shot a lot at a club perhaps ?
