    Amazing the detail in some of these old books. This one has a lot of sporting rifles plus military etc.

    Hi Tentman, Did he also have a very nicely wooded Ruger #1 in 243 ? Probably 1970's vintage.
    Passed away Last year???

    162gr HDY ELD-M + 39gr AR2208

    Up the hill in the dark before 6.00am for 6.15am sunrise, wind in my face. Got busted on my left so stopped and watched as 3 - 4 disappeared into a stand of native. A couple of steps, look to the right and there's the hind looking directly at me...freeze until she puts her head down. She immediately lifts it up again but I'm ready for that and when she puts her head down again, I slip in behind a couple of punga stumps, find a steady rest and squeeze off on her neck at 120m.

    Interesting old book 1971 by Frank de Haas Has a good section on commercial turn bolt actions and rifles. Has a great section on BSA rifles including a page on the Majestic parts and prices.Also has a lot of dimensions of actions etc. Includes Royal, Majestic, Monarch and U9. It's an American book hence some difference in model names.
    Full book (3rd edition) is online and downloadable : https://archive.org/details/Bolt_Act...es_3rd_Edition

    Did anyone ever buy a majestic in 308 from taumarunui with a pitted barell about 25 years ago. Didn't know what we had back then. Would love to know what happened to it

    thinking about old rifles we used to have from a description can anyone identify the model Marlin I had for a short time - now it was bloody awfull but its the only one I have ever seen and no would not like it back - bought as a pig rifle - it was a lever action in 30 M1 - box mag - the bolt from memory was square and it looked like the action was two pieces of stamped steel joined together- bloody horrible and did not last long with me - cant find any reference to any Marlin like it - just interested
