good value
What's the barrel - standard or aftermarket?

No major changes until the model 2e (short version of a very complex history)

The Model 1 is different in a few ways. Trigger, sights, bolt etc Enough that the Model 2 wasn't just called the Model 1a

I’ll be keen to know what he thinks of it.

it's standard apart from the stock

I'd try it with the scope that's on it before you try the VX on it. I tried an older VX on mine and couldn't get it shooting consistently- a combination of incorrect paralax and inconsistent cheekweld due to high mounting to clear the bolt.

It’s been neglected, but I don’t think it’s done a lot of work, bore and rifling look good, but lots of rust on the outside of the barrel, original sights, but missing mag. Any clue on how to remove the rust? It’s pretty heavy in spots, but I’d like to restore it back to reasonable or better condition.

Nice one mate, nice first choice for a rifle too.

thanks! shot sub 1" groups at 50m on Sunday, I'm sure it'll do better as I up my skills. Only complaint is the power of the scope, as I find it hard to see the bullet holes and want to stretch it to 75 and 100m.
