#1 Post by The trakker »

I seena lovelly rifle in 308, a Midland gun co. Does ayone know the history or the quality shoot of these. Its a well made rifle & lovelly wood, seems well balanced & light sporter , fits real well to be honest.

They've got Mauser actions, I believe. If so, it should be ok.
What's the bore like?

Should be quite cheap, too. I take it it's a sporter?
What's the asking price?

Aren't they like a yellow-pack Parker Hale 1200?
