No offence taken. I rather delight in older rifles with character and with history. John Duxbury shared with me that the base had been on a cullers rifle used around 1963 the same year as my first exposure to hunting and for which I was hoping to do a ritual 60th annerversary trip next March. I guess this is the rifle I need to take. For me ritual trips are walks in the bush, often taking an interesting old rifle, with no expectation of shooting anything but just because I still can.

many (many ) years ago as a young fellow in Gisborne we had a dear old chap in our rifle club who was an ex army Captain - he had got his mits on a lot of ex army 303 - for $60 he would sell one a brand new 303 he had neatly cut down and zeroed ( with test shots ) . He must have started many a young hunter into hunting cheaply
