Well worth the wait I'd say. Lovely timber on it. Do you know anything of the history associated with it ?
The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.

Best I can find out it was bought new by a Canadian who shot it in competition some time between the wars. I gather he moved here to Maine at some point where the rifle was sold at an estate auction after his death.

joseyclosey it seems that it is hard to date the BSA Commercial rifles because of the way BSA handled the serial numbers on them. Near as anyone can get is probably mid to late 20s.
