They are neat little sights, I have one that is mounted on a Winchester Model 03, which is why I bought it actually

My first rifle was a BSA bolt action single shot and I wish it had had one of these sights on it

I intend one day to get another BSA rifle and mount one these on it

Very impressive Adam

Certainly has got me thinking about doing something similar as I have some very overloaded gun cabinets

Here in NZ we need superior security if we wish to own pistols and automatic waepons and till now I have put this in the too hard basket

Thanks for the insight

Depends on how you define antique

I gather it is the standard spring tester, this one is not military marked

This one would be by my guess be post war, probably similar age to myself. But that is only a guess

It is a precise shot We always used solids and the spot is an X running from eye to ear, frontal with the head a little lowered so as to get right angled penetration The great thing is if you miss (and I have) there is not much reaction and there is time for another. Mind you that is when the big gu...

Long ago an Minister of the Crown in NZ was asked what about his thoughts on euthenasia "I think we should look after our own kiddies first" Interesting rifle, I imagine it would be for vermin control, certainly not for use in New Zealand as I have never seen such a thing here. The .303 wa...
