who here shoots the BSA Martini actions?

[mikeystew]

I was reading a page on the BSA Martini actions and I see there are Mark II Mark IV and such models, but throughout the article they only talked about the 12/15.

is the 12/15 the same as these Mark models and of them, which is the better and what markings on on the rifles to dictate which Mark revision it is?

thanks!

No. The mark series are the martini internationals. They are much bigger, heavier, and more expensive guns than the earlier 12/15, 12 etc. But they are also slightly more accurate, but not by much. I've owned both and personally prefer the 12/15 because it's so much lighter weight and shoots nearly as good.

Russ, those are awesome and the scopes...those are crazy!

what kind of magnifications do they have?

Good morning. I'm glad you like them. I have an Unertl 15 a Lyman 15, 20 & 25 and Redfield 20 and 24.

I have a left-hand action MkII wearing a x18 Unertl 2" target scope, and a right-hand action MkII in a one-off laminated stock. That one has a Tasco T70 in x20. Both shoot like crazy.
