Show us your 22LR

[Curtley78]

Carl,

Very, Very nice. That is certainly a nice looking piece of timber in that Bruno.

[Carl223]

Thanks guys, I purchased it mid last year and I'm sure glad that my mate convinced me to get it over the synthetic/nickel model I had my eyes on. It comes away to my girlfriends dads property in Tenterfield twice yearly and a few trips out past Dunedoo each year and it is perfect on rabbits, hares and the odd fox that isn't too far out. The only thing I don't like is the fact that I have to be so very carefull as to not knock it around because I think I'd cry if I damaged the wood on it

Of course you would cry, I'd break your legs if you hurt it

...the fact that I have to be so very carefull as to not knock it around because I think I'd cry if I damaged the wood on it

Thats why I like having two the same, one nice looking one and a rough but accurate one.

Funny how there are so many Lithgow .22s still in regular use. Saw a heap at the Penrith gun show on the weekend. One bloke said he had others he would break as there is more need for parts than whole rifles.

There not all .22LR, but the Combo is a .22LR/20GA and the CZ 452 Deluxe is a .22LR. The otehr two are my .177 air rifles. Enjoy!!

Yep, I know it's meant to be a show us your .22 thread, but I just picked up the .303 today

[Quick]

Nice looking CZ and .303, wat version is that a Mk III*, I cant seee the magazine cut-off.

[cruisey]

G'day Quick,

No1 Mk111*, BSA 1918, so no magazine cutoff

Looks great & will have its first outing today for a bit of a target shoot.

Nice mate, keep us posted, the No 1 MKIII* is on my 'to acquire' list. Could you tell us what sort of groups you are getting with it?

[cruisey]

Yes, I'm impressed mate, It's not a gun you would take out hunting all the time, but thats not the reason I bought it, I really got it for the history of the rifle & Australia's association with it, & to preserve that side of things......having said that, its a hell of a lot of fun to shoot & would be great for the odd feral goat at a medium distance with the iron sights (my eyes ain't what they used to be).

If you can get hold of a good one with a decent barrel, grab it, I know you want one, cos I've seen your post on the lee enfield forum you won't regret it.

As far as groups go....well i've yet to get down to a range, just took it out bush on Saturday to see how it went initially, but could get 3 out of 5 into a soup can at 50m from a standing position will give it a real go from a proper distance when I get a chance

Cheers,
Dave

Nice cruisey, I have a lithgow 1919 that never seen service, re-built at lithgow in 1956 but can I shoot it? Nah!!

[Model70]

Ill get some pics up over the next couple of days of the 452e varmint and the slazenger but my first LR was a lithgow 1B single shot that I found on a deceased estate whilst working as a removalist. Butt was snapped off behind the pistol grip (probably used it to whack a snake) but the action and barrel was mint with the white and yellow paint on the sights and cocking mechanism. Shot well but had to get rid of it unfortunately

[cruisey]

I'm with you Model 70, when I said I got 3 out of 5 into the can, I didn't mention the other 9 groups of 5 rounds I shot that were shite ! Shhhh

[Model70]

I got my hands on this gun just after I got my license again about 7 yrs ago. Took it to malabar, laid down on the bindiis in the heat with no rest and let loose! I spent most of the day there and after 70 rounds I ended up with 23 on paper at 100m and a sore shoulder!
