Just had a few out to clean....a 66 (made in 66) factory engraved rifle in 3006,a type b in 3006,a typeb model k in 250 savage, a type a magnum mauser, non sqaure bridge action,28 inch barrel in 280 ross and a 1924 holland and holland 375 magAttachment 256424Attachment 256425Attachment 256426Attachment 256427
The 280 ross would've been a neat thing back in the day
Reading some old accounts, they often had trouble with accuracy, which turned out to be factory ammo issue - for example Canadian Dominion ammo they used to load with the wrong size bullet, resulting in six inch groups at 100y. (From memory .280 Ross is actually .286 sized) But the rifles themselves very accurate if goiven the proper ammo. Lots of compeition shooting won by Ross rifles.Quote:
