Getting old

Lots of us there, I'm older than you. Anyway, we're still here.

Next auction is 27th Feb but although they do have a few BSA .22rf bolt action rifles non are listed as the 'Sportsman 5' (there is a Sportsman 15, but that is not the same magazine).

That's a quality piece by the look of it; nice that you haven't over-cleaned the stock as well. 28" bbl.? That's slightly surprising in a "poacher's gun". I see some of the BSA Sportsmen .22's folded in a similar way.

And who couldn't love a face like that?

Sadly, we all have our problems, I'm still looking for a rifle to go with my magazine!

Yes he was 'one of a kind' - sadly missed.

The barrel is actually 30".
Minimum legal barrel length is 24" but maybe it was longer to help with keeping the load pattern together - there are a lot of 'holes' in a 410 pattern at around 25 yards.
