I have seen one in in about 20 year and when I looked down the barrel it was rust I was sad because I wanted it I passed on it .
I found out after I should have got it and part it out the stock was worth more then he was asking.

They are great guns. I'm shooting weekly SR and TR with one at the moment and mine is incredibly accurate, considering it's age. With a tuned load it's easily a 1.5moa shooter at 800m from a TR jacket, if you're doing your bit.

This is a 300m deliberate, with a cheap Speer pill: https://youtu.be/CRdHEex_nsc I know for a fact that the Sierras group even tighter for an application.

Very nice piece of kit there SHV, you're lucky to find a bayonet now for one of these now, like rocking horse poo!
Lovely photography by the way, certainly beats my efforts hands down
