Picked up a new toy this week, 1968(I think) BSA mk2 that was potentially heading for the scrap yard as a club was getting rid so I paid a visit and took it off their hands complete with original sights for the princely sum of £50
Anyway a purchase from UK Varminting secured a nice Tasco 10-40 scope and a trip up to see David and Christel sorted the scope bracket.
Popped up to Barnwell this morning and zeroed it , Debs proceeded to plink at some bench rest targets putting in some very tidy results.
Total outlay £210
All in all very happy.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

Unfortunately they don't make guns like that any more.
Still as long as the shooting community continue to despise them because they are "old", not new and in current fashion, then fine rifles at realistic prices will be available to those sensible shooters who recognise a fine gun by looking at it rather than having to be told what is good on farcebook and the like.
Come on Bambi get some
Imperial Good Metric Bad
Analogue Good Digital Bad

It was better than I expected I didn't get any group pics but for a 50year old rifle I have no complaints

I had one of those dirty Martini’s but I couldn’t get enough rail space on it for my laser and PEQ box.
