Are tackdrivers, when one is not shooting, something's wrong with the rifle. Mind you, a 12/15 will also perform quite nicely...

This was shot at 75m, benched, with lowly yellow Eley target rifle (yellow box) - 10 shots. And yes, the oil shot is also in there...

They are indeed a true classic rifle, there demise in popularity was a function of fashion and bolt on's for shoppers not shooters.

They used to rebarrel the Anschutz with International barrels, go figure.

They are coming back in demand now for benchrest, I've had a few after my Mk111 but I wouldn't sell it to them as they wanted to chop the wood, the savages. :evil:

I had a MkII for some years (the only satisfactory action, I thought) but eventually got tired of postal leagues and agonising about the difference between 95 and 96, and sold it.

All the NSRA lot have moved over to Anschutz's so there is little market for them here
