Reminds me of the 500 Velocette I had!

Another motorcyclist?

That looks nice. Mine is the carbine, about K98k size. Was looking for the rifle but the carbine came up first.

Dromia

Yes, most folk think of the Stag's Head when the Seaforths are mentioned. In another dimension I collect militaria :geek:

"Cuidich'n Righ"!

Another motorcyclist?

Ovenpaa

In a former life. Haven't ridden one for 20 years but I very nearly bought a BSA M20 last year as an investment. Mem' sahib wasn't too keen so settled for a BSA Mk2 Airborne bicycle instead. Doesn't take up so much room :)

Airkid

I have a proper post war 1946 Norton 16H somewhere and ride an R1200R to work just about every day (Lets not talk about December!) Talking of airborne I quite fancy an Excelsior Welbike (Corgi) one day..

Anyone else have that problem with S/P actions?

Airkid

Nope, but they do need to be started at full throttle and operated with brisk authority.

I'd second that. I have a K31 and if you don't show it who's boss when you slam the bolt home you'll feel a right muppet when you all you get is a light click when you try to send it down range. Not that I'd know anything about that of course.

Before I bought mine I got the opportunity to shoot one open sighted at 1000yds on Stickledown last summer. Even I managed to turn in reasonable results with it. I wish I could say the same about the No.4 at the same distance (my fault for not getting to grips with the sights I know).

Remember the scope mounted Schmidt Rubin actioned sporter in "Streets of Laredo".

CH Roads shoots a recumbent Schimdt Rubin Match rifle in one of the episodes of the 1970's BBC series "The Gun".


Proper gun porn Phwoaaarrrrrrrr! :P

Yes.....M1910 Ross .303", 7.5mm 1911 Schmidt Rubin and a 1911 Schmidt Rubin actioned 7.62mm Target Rifle.

Yes, the S-R action enjoyed a surge of popularity in the mid-late 70s for target rifles. I can certainly remember shooting on several details at the Imperial during that period alongside S-R users, who invariably beat the heck out of my converted P.14 at the longer ranges. Heady days :roll:
