It is considerably lighter than my 85 Bavarian carbine. Has a bloody nice trigger too

I'm not sure if the wood is walnut and there's sod all blueing left; but my old 1944 SMLE is now sporting a new Nikon 2-7x Prostaff scope. I've had this rifle since I was about 18 and still love using the 75-year old WW2 vintage lovely old girl! I bet she could tell some stories......

I've been trying to suss who made it; but the marks are so worn!

That is very nice

Sig P-210 6 T

9x19mm Parabellum.
I have shot a 6" 7 shot group with this at 100m from a rest on a frosty Morning.One of the world's most accurate center fire pistols and pretty much an example of Swiss firearms perfection.

Back in the 90's I lived in Switzerland. Had a young family back then but still wanted to keep doing something with firearms. So I joined a small country pistol club. I managed to secure my pistol license and started action shooting.
I bought a Sig 226 and spent some great Saturdays shooting with a group of guys that really took me in as there only 'English speaker'. I managed to learn all the commands in German and enjoyed it very much.
Getting to my point, all the top shooters at the club used the Sig 210. Handling a 210 compared to a 226 was like comparing a Sauer 90 with a Sauer 100. They are one of the slickest precision pistols I have had the pleasure to shoot.

Here’s my new muzzle loader
Check out that for timber

I acquired this new un-fired vintage Tikka M55 in .243.
I believe it was manufactured somewhere between 1975 & 1979.
Interesting rifle. Made when Tikka was independent of Sako. No plastic anywhere on this one.

Very nice rifle and I'm not doubting its age
But were zip lock bags around in 1979 ?
Time flys

I bought one of these new in 1979. I thought I was the bees knees. Finding one NIB in 2020 is exceptional. Well done. Nice rifle. I bet it will shoot well.

got any lefthand ones still in the closet
