Here is the very first group I shot with this rifle using 225 grain Hornady SP @ 2740 fps. It has only gotten more accurate now the barrel is broken in. Lol

Tod's just pullin' your chain Richard,he's been known to do that from time to time. He is just upset because the Winchester shoots as good as his Remington's do.:eek:
I'm glad to see that the Winchester still shoots as good as the day I traded it to you. Nice job you did with it..:cool:
 
I don't think it's the rifle you traded him that shoots well, I think it's because of the stock I sold him!:p
 
Well.....I guess you were pulling the trigger so we'll give you some of the credit!:rolleyes: Good for you.
 
Thor's Hammer - and it has two little brothers.

The classic Husqvarna Series 5000 Lightweight, sold in Canada back in the 60's as "The Husky". Thor's Hammer, pictured here, is in .358 Norma Magnum. Just under 8 lbs good to go, Conetrol rings mounting a Leupold 3x9 Compact, a 250 gr. Barnes-X at 2880 fps that will hold 1.25 MOA at 300 yards... and yes it does give you a gentle nudge backwards at the shot!

A classic from the 60's... and they ain't making them anymores. The other two look pretty much identical, except one is a 30/06 Ackley Improved (wore the original barrel out firing it, so had Bill Leeper rebarrel it with the same barrel contour), and the other is a .308 Winchester.

The original advertisement for the rifle can be seen here:

And the "owners manual" that came with the 30/06 - the others came with nothing but a little hangtag that was a piece of plastic with a wax seal on it.

Very nice BSA
How many locking lugs?
mauser type extractor?
I'm unfamiliar with the platform...
Click to expand...

2 lug bolt with full length Mauser type extractor. These are amoung the smoothest and most reliable CRF actions ever built. Some models like the featherweight were well ahead of their time. In the 1950s BSA was marketing a long action sporter with wood stock, 22" barrel and steel floorplate that tipped the scales right around the 6 pound mark. Even today a 6 pound long action rifle is hard to find.

This "Improved Mauser type action" - in BSA's words -was the first true sporter action built by BSA. It came in 3 action lengths, short, long, and magnum with standard cartridges ranging from the .222 to the 458 Winchester. Production of this model ended in the very early 1960's as the 100% hand-built action could not compete against the mass-produced "threaded tube" rifles being built in the US.
 
Actually there is a fair amount of eye relief. I'm guessing 4"
However you guys are right I need to stretch a little to get a full sight picture. I however prefer it this way.
 
This is the only rifle I have worth bragging about... Custom .338WM Douglas Stainless barrel, Fajen Stock, Interarms MKX Action, Three position safety, Dakota Bolt shroud, Titanium Nitride Coated everything, Space Shuttle trigger group, Electrically cooled pony harness....;)
