    How about a few details on the one at the top with the bipod?
    The Slazenger Hornets were quite common. They were produced during a period post WW2 when there was a shortage of sporting rifles in Aust. These days they do pop up from time to time, but their "collector value" has seen the prices go up recently. Great shooter.

    The bipod rifle is a former Lithgow action 303/25 sporter (my first Lee Enfield, nearly 30 years ago) I fitted it with a good "H" .303 barrel and set about to build a competition rifle for High Power. The main aim was to compete with the big guys for 1/10th the cost.
    I fitted an aluminium block to the action from in front of the butt socket to under the barrel knox. The foreend I made from hardwood and fitted it to the block with the set screws visible at the side. It doesn't contact the action or barrel anywhere. The butt is an old chopped up coachwood butt with bits grafted on and shaped as you see. Scope is a BSA 6-24x56, 'pod is a Harris 9 to 13 Pivot and aftermarket pod-lock. It almost shoots MOA from the couple of goes I've had, but haven't had a chance to give it a good work out.
