    Not a Bubba

    BSA Mod E - The Stalking Directory Photo Gallery

    If the link is good this is a pic of my latest acquisition. It's a BSA Mod E sporting rifle. Built on a P14 by the BSA company in the early 1950's.
    Rings and bases are vintage Parker Hale and the scope is a slightly too modern Weaver K4.
    It's a nice shooting rifle, and it will be used for deer here in the UKicon. It's already accounted for one fox.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    That follows, I've seen #1 and #4s that were factory converted and looked perfect. I would rather have one of those than have to mod one. It would have no flaws and shoot great.

    Sorry for the long delay in replying Rich, I don't get on here often these days. I'm currently using a load with some old 180grn Norma SP bullets I managed to acquire a box of and they are giving about a 2.25" group, which I find acceptable, given the range the rifle will be used at and the limitations of a 4x scope.
    I've also got some 130grn and 150 Norma bullets which have shown similar capabilities.
    The rifle's been out a few times with me now, but no deer I've encountered while carrying this rifle have presented a safe/useable shot. My main venison provider these days seems to be my Win Mod 70 .243.
