Re: is a 22hornet 340c savage worth fixing ?

A mate of mine has one, nice little rifle.

If you have the gear and know how, why not give it a go.

Re: WWII rifles

I also really love the old clunkers. I only own a Lithgow No1 Mk111*, but want to get some more old military rifles. I visited a mate of another forum in the US recently and we spent a few afternoons out at his range shooting old clunkers. He had some 91/30 Nagants that he just bought for about $70 ...

Re: mauser 98

First off, start with a rifle that has already been modified, it annoys us clunkerphiles to see a nice rifle hacked up, so find one with that has already been drilled and tapped for scope mounts, and the stock modified. Some people also mill off the charger bridge and remove the iron sights as well....

Re: If only

Boyds might have something like that, they probably even provide the blank for them.

Failing that I guess you could e-mail volqartsen as well to find out who their supplier is as well.

Re: Thanks K Rudd

Yeah, $480 of my stimulus money went to the dept of fair trading here in NSW to apply for my sparkies license, I am going to piss some of it up the wall, the rest I guess I will just waste.

Re: Accuracy of Steyr Scout and Rossi 17HMR

A mate of mine from TAFE owns a Steyr Scout and the thing shoots! It was nice and light as well. When I was at the range I saw him put 5 rounds into the one hole at 50 (long as the range was) using 180grn PMC ammo. It feels a little weird using it at first, but I rather liked the rifle, I would prob...

Re: TOZ 78-05 .22Lr

I had a look at one of the Gucci marlin HMR's in the shop and I was not impressed with a $700 or so rifle with a rattly mag, give me a savage or CZ any day
