Lets See Your Bullet Guns

[Cael Nu Mara]

Hello all.

Now I saw the "Lets see your air guns" thread, and wondered why there wasnt one for our Rimfire/centrefire shooters? So I now try to remedy it. Post anything really thats shoots bullets, no wee pellet/shot guns here thank you! I do think that we should stick to UK legal though, just to be on the safe side. If you want to post specs and things feel free, its always nice to see what other folks muskets are! I'll put one of mine up to kick it off. I might take some piccies of the others if I have time.

Its a Steyr Mannlicher Prohunter, in .243win wiith a 1.5lb trigger, scope is a 8x56 Schimd & Bender German, IMO one of the best low light scopes you can buy. Since that picture was taken its had a few mods done to it. The barrel has been chopped from 23.5 inch to 20inch, The supressor is now a Ase Ultra S5 in stainless rather than the T8. I always use a Niggelogh Rucksling, its grand for when your dragging a carcass or when your not going to need it anytime soon. I also use a 13"-24" Harris Swivel Bi-Pod. I found this very usefull, and always have it on now when Im stalking, just to usefull to not have! This is the gun I use for Roe and foxes at the moment, I wouldnt use it on anything bigger, I know lots of people do, but Ive seen far too many deer run to take the risk. I prefer something larger for fallow upwards, it was my Blaser offroad tracking 8x57, until I sold it.

Happy Posting

Sadly had to part company with mine just recently because of other commitments - but it was a 1945 .303 Lee Enfield No 4 Mk II. An absolute classic, great fun to shoot.

beautiful bit of kit that mate.

I had a day with a P14 .303 some years ago and it was brilliant fun. hell of a kick on it though.

Is that the one with the vertical bolt? If it is I shot one once, I decided I wasnt man enough!

My favourite toy - one after which I lust - is my uncle's Shiloh Sharps 50cal with a full-length telescopic sight and set trigger (he's of the larger persuasion, so shown here bench-rest shooting). It needs to be pulled through a couple of times after each shot, but it's worth it...

Now that's from the day's when a Rifle had a personnality, lovely!

 

[MrEd]

i used to shoot and target mark at that range, i believe its bisley

Since we are comparing Lee Enfields, this is mine in a couple of guises

No.4 Mk II in .303 with later (1950) sporterised stock and full handguard

With Parker Hale aperture sights and Garand sling set up for precision rifle

With Armalon (no drill) scope mount, Russian 8x56 (cheap) scope and Harris "S type" bi-pod set up for sporting and "F class" shooting

Clearly I can revert to blade foresight and original battle sight for military rifle comps.

A lovely gun and, whilst I have far more accurate rifles now, a joy to shoot.

Since the other ones we have on offer is a Steyr, here is my offering in the Steyr stakes

Stey Scout in .223 with a Leupold tactical mil dot on top.

I shot a 1917 Lee Enfield for a day at a scout shooting comp as Bisley ranges back in the 80's at the age of 14 or 15

Like you say - a hell of a kick!

Basically one of these:

http://www.semno.org/images/Kevin's Rifle - 05.JPG

Anschutz 54 (modern type, without the bolt-mounted safety), standard front aperture, rear with BSA iris (via thread adapter). I've shot a one-hole, ten-shot group with this at 100 yards, from a prone-unsupported position.

Pretty gun

I started out with "bondage gear" .22 . Does yours sport a hook Matt?

Must admit makes an interesting contrast with my .22s these days

No hook, the only 'frippery' is an up/down butt-plate, custom cheek-rest (hacked about piece of pine), and the rear iris.

TBH I'm a bit bored with the whole 'bondage gear' shooting scene; with the little trigger time I get these days I much prefer the 'cruder' practices. When I get a better income and easier access to fullbore ranges I've promised myself a .303 and a .45-70.

Matt could you post that picture a bit bigger i can barely see it..

 

[johnboy]

Here's one of mine..... I think this would be UK legal.. If not Mods/ someone can you let me know and I'll remove it...

Swedish Mauser m96/38 in 6.5x55 originally a m96 made by Carl Gustav in 1915 then at somepoint shortened to a m38 carbine length. Mauser action cock on closing 5 shot magazine accurate enough for me.

It was in very poor condition when I got it most of the blue was missing the bolt was pretty rusty and the stock was nasty so I reblued it and refinished the stock which is Arctic Beech, it looks a bit better now..

 

[andybysea]

Cael nu mara when you say vertical bolt do you mean straight pull as in the Canadian Ross rifle of ww1

British Red,Johnboy nice rifle's btw, i do have a soft spot for old military rifles.

I went the same way You can still have lots of fun with .22s though - just get into the mini rifle / gallery scene

With a 50 round clockwork drum mag - its all the fun you can have fully clothed

Now that is one pretty 10/22... may I please have a little more technical info on it?

 

[British Red]

Hmmm The receiver is original

Lets see now...Heavy profile Volquartsen snake fluted barrel. Thumbhole shilouette laminate stock, extended mag and slide release, sorby recoil buffer, tuned trigger (single stage 2lb break), titanium pin, weaver mount, Whitetail classic scope.

Totally different to shoot than my good ladies which is all carbon fibre and very lightweight. Mines a heavy old lump
