It doesn’t always have to cost a fortune

[Roestalker39]

Good morning gents
Having sold one of my 7mms to the bro in law I found myself with a spare slot , fancying another .270 I had a look on guntrader and bought this ..... 60 years old bsa monarch deluxe still in original case for £125 barely used , just sorting out scope options and I think I’m going to leave it unmoderated, there’s still bargains to be had

Bloody hell, did the seller owe you a favour or something?

The BSA's are cult rifles in Canada and NZ, the right person would probably pay £1,250 for that.

Speaks volumes that they are undervalued in Britain... you can just about get a bipod and sling for £125, not that you will need one for this!

If you have it screw cut for a moderator, I'll block you

When I was living in Canada they were very sought after ! Ha ha no danger of that I’ve just bought some naughty lead 130 gr ppu for £17 a box to try

That is a lovely looking rifle and for a steal.

I am with caberslash on this regarding it being cut for a moderator.

Careful, someone's feelings will be hurt!

Think you'll enjoy using that; a classic British rifle.

I’ve an old sako L61R In 270 won’t be modded super quality love it well done for taking the old girl to a new home

I walked through the BSA stocking shop most days in 1965-6 on my way to get stuff for the BSA training centre. They knew what they were doing back then.
My neighbour has a modern .270 something or other with a laminated thumbhole 1300 Euro custom stock that he added on as an upgrade, he dropped it last week and the stock has come apart, he is well p1ssed. He dropped a 40kg ueberlaufer last night with it that ran on 120 metres afterwards so the scope mounts seem to have survived the drop. .270 is the bottom limit for boar IMO.

Is that the Holland and Holland one ? I remember you putting pics on it’s a beauty

I do hope that maybe this thread shows possibly to folk starting on their stalking journey that you don’t need the latest super expensive kit , don’t get me wrong I’ve done nice stuff myself but my sako won’t kill anything deader than this old girl , for years I had an old Parker hale amd a Brno zzk and killed a lot of deer and foxes etc with them

Well you won't be getting any endorsement money or sponsorship deals with that attitude

Keeping it real!

You think you have problems?? I have convinced so many people to start reloading that I am "dis-invited" to dinner by housewives all across the US. I have stopped getting the hate mail as of late. I must be slowing down....~Muir

I’m the same with asking people to question wether they need courses doesn’t make you popular , just honest

You are willing to show people how to do things themselves, for free?!

Who do you think you are? Plato? Jesus Christ?

What a lovely bit of kit ! If only they could talk

If you want to be loved, charge more, be nasty and unhelpful. Look what happened to Astra Zeneca when they tried to help the world!
