Hi all
Anyone out there shooting original straight pull actions (not converted SLRs)?

We have a couple of Ross shooters at Diggle and the odd Schmidt Rubin shooter.

We're not all odd!
Seriously, I have an S-R K11 which is very crisp, and I've been offered a Steyr which I am mulling over. I find with my Schmidt that primary extraction is a problem with factory ammo (PPU). It might just be me being limp-wristed of course :roll:
Anyone else have that problem with S/P actions?

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

Reminds me of the 500 Velocette I had!

PS. Isn't that cap badge the 5th Seaforths?

Yes, it is the Clan Sutherland badge that was worn by the 5th Seaforths Sutherland and Caithness Battalion.
