BSA International MK3 lives again!

[mrclark303]

Hi all,


So, going back 30 years, both my wife and I shot .22 prone competition, me with my trusty model 54 and my wife with her International MK3.

Debbie had a very impressive 98 avarage, I never got any better than 96.

She just had the Lazer like concentration needed to maintain a consistent high score....

Then I had a sudden conversation to Damascus, got bored of competition ( Debbie stopping shortly after as life tends to get in the way), sold the rifle and came home with my first Lee Enfield .... Never looked back and embracing all sorts of milsurps ever since....

While my model 54 was happily sold on to someone who can probably do it more justice than I ever could, my wife wanted to keep her international, for old times sake.

It's been stored for 25 years, quite frankly we both forgot all about it...

Last year it had to be moved from its location, so I put it on my FAC....

Deciding it was high time it was used for something, I spent yesterday refubishing it and adding a mint Tasco 708 scope, period correct.

I added a butt pad to give me the correct eye relief on the short stock, a weaver rail underneath and I'm ready for a little relaxing bench rest shooting, 1960's style!
