Lovely..........I have a large frame Martini converted to .22" by Bonehill, I will dig out a picture in the week.

Shoots so well, It still surprises me and the smallbore types with their million pound german made shooting machines. :lol: :lol:

Good looking actions, I can see they have been used but they are in lovely condition.
