    Wonder wot an H barrel sporter is cappable of?

    I recently sold an H BSA barreled sporter 1917, the barrel had good rifling but not factory new, it gauged at .30 I think, I'll check my papers. It also had a basically bedded fore end, with a simple small one inch square patch under the knox area that was the rest between the wood and receiver to create a fully floated barrel, plus under the main trigger guard screw and trigger plate was a stiff metal plate about 1.5 inches in diameter inlet into the wood ala L42 style.
    As a point of interest it seemed that the BSA heavy barrel was heavier than the H Lithgowicon we're more used to ...

    Take a look at the 25 yard target the excited new owner sent me!

    ps the pic is odd, its a pdf, but it opens to a picture if you follow the clicks etc.

    PPS my file upload manager is nearly full but for the life of me I can't figure out how to delete the old pics, any tips?
