Advice on no8 22s

[Buccaneer]

The No8 Rifles are as rare as rocking horse poo here in the UK, the one I own was imported from NZ a few years ago but now it has become virtually impossible with the huge transport costs and other charges to bring them over. All No8 rifles that are currently held by the cadets ect will be scrapped when no longer required, none of them will be released to the civilian shooting market, such a waste.

It's criminal considering they belong to the taxpayers. I know, don't try to put common sense where there isn't any.

I paid too much ($800.00) for mine and it came from NZ. Wanted one and the price was the price and being hard to find in Canada bit my tongue and did it. Works perfectly, had it at the range this week and reality is happy I bought it.

I was lucky. Found mine in Vancouver BC back at the height of the long arm registry madness. People were selling rifles for pennies on the dollar. Got several nice pieces from free to 800 dollars. The No8 set me back 100 Cdn, The 800 dollar rifle was a pre 1900 LSA commercial sporter.
