I'm not sure what I have here - a Moving Target/Running Boar KK 22LR?
I recently chanced upon this rifle on line and bought it immediately - A risky decision given its age and uncertain history.
When the rifle finally arrived from inter-state, I cleaned the bore and took it to the range for an initial function/accuracy test. It was immediately apparent that I had a shooter on my hands and it functioned perfectly.
I then stripped the rifle and cleaned everything and was surprised to find that the barrelled action was in remarkable condition given that it's nearly 4 decades old. The stock finish was deteriorating and there was some superficial damage to the wood. The barrel weight was also missing.
I decided to restore this rifle and have just finished re-assembling the component parts.
A special "Thank-You" to a couple of members here who provided detailed measurements of the barrel weight so that a clone could be machined to fit.
The package also came fitted with a Burris 4-12AO scope of the same vintage which is in near mint condition. The turrets are interesting in that they are friction adjustable with no numbers or clicks - One hash mark appears to be .5" at 100 yards. I've been running this scope on a 1710 to check tracking and ability to hold zero and it functions perfectly. I'll probably re-mount it on the Walther once I complete some accuracy testing with a higher power variable.
I'll let the pics speak for themselves - This is a quite rare and well built 22 and I like it...A lot!
