    The butt stock on that rifle is one of the ones made by Pat Neville when he was working for Joe White in New Brighton in the late '60's. Pat was a first-class stockmaker of world standard. Those early SMLE sporting butt stocks were very comfortable to shoot. The stock is worth much more than you paid for the rifle!

    I could tell it was high quality as soon as I saw it and have a nice sporter that would have benefitted. As it turned out the BSA is a better shooter and the stock does feel very good.
    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    Having owned a rifle stocked by Pat Neville I would have to agree - top class workmanship. Form, fit and finish was absolutely superb.

    Been looking at getting a takedown rifle for quite a while, round visiting a mate whos a keen hunter and shooter,
    Got talking about takedowns, and I made the comment, "I really like a light weight double, in a medium bore,"
    well what know, Name: IMG_1596.JPG Views: 714 Size: 3.01 MBName: IMG_1600.JPG Views: 714 Size: 3.32 MBName: IMG_1599.JPG Views: 716 Size: 4.49 MBName: IMG_1603.JPG Views: 796 Size: 2.01 MBName: IMG_1604.JPG Views: 661 Size: 4.89 MBName: IMG_1606.JPG Views: 685 Size: 4.44 MB

    Fair Iside Safari, in 9.3x74, and 20ga, with Interchanagble chokes. super light weight 6lbs 1 oz with the rifle barrel, I've already been out to the range, and hammered 30 rounds with it, Brilliant handling rifle offhand, bit of a mule on the bench.
    Pd less than my Fair shotgun cost me, including rounds, brass and dies, and got a 1903 Mannlicher, fullstock Carbine in 6.5x54 MS, for an extra $500, Sweet rifle, too, been trying to pry it off him, for a couple years.
    Defiantly would been cheaper, to buy the Winchester takedown,
