Owned a Sportco one till just recently. I sold it.

Hi @bluecod1967 Your Majestic was made between 63 and 66 so just a few years older than you

hi thanks very much sideshow

I have a small job at a tourist park early tomorrow morning. To shoot a fallow stag they no longer want low noise and head shot only so the Hunter came out of the safe for the first time in 10 yrs.I thought it prudent to check zero after all that time and it needed a tweak to the right.
The rifle and ammo.
The price paid for 50 rnd box in today's money $4.50.

And the group before a tweak right.

very nice rifle great grouping also,unfortunately for me my majestic doesnt have the original mag follower or spring,the spring is a cf2 one it works but the mag follower is a cut down one that only works with 2 rounds in it at one time so now the hunt begins mag follower for 222 or cut down another one and make it work.

solved that wee problem i have a rough monarch so i swapped the follower fits like it should

Nice rifle john m and good grouping. Have same model myself. Had it for years. Got 2 boxes of ammo with rifle when I bought it. Winchester Super Speed 50 gr soft point. Yellow and red box has 24/- price and date 4/8/55 written on box. Don't use old ammo as reload. I see a Hunter .222 on Trade Me at the mo for $3000.

I reload too but nothing shoots as well in this rifle as the old Sako ammo. Still got 70 or so rounds left, reloads are good just not as good.

Does anyone know how to disassemble the extractor out of a BSA Majestic bolt?

It's funny people go apeshit over BSA rather German or anything actually no appeal so move on

Well, you could have just moved on without making a comment.

This isn't German. It's a BSA. 'Cause that's what the threads about.

I’ll see if there’s anything in my book on them @Carlsen Highway

@NRT
Well start a thread about anshutz, mauser, sauer, rigby, mannlicher, husquvarna etc. whatever floats your boat. You have read this whole forum haven't you?
You do realise that most of us on here like or at least appreciate pretty much everything. This one just happens to be about BSA's. If you started one about any of the above you would see similar responses. With the exception of the mauser based rifles, I would suggest there are a bucket load of BSA's so maybe more to pick from?
Twat.
@Carlsen Highway nice stock on the 303 BTW

THanks, but it's alright - figured it out.

Twenty minutes later - Ha! Fixed it.
