can you ID this rifle please?

I’m beginning to think it’s a CF2…

No, the CF2 bolt is angled towards the rear, that looks to have a bolt which goes straight down

It is not.

Plenty of those old BSA sporting rifles still being used in New Zealand....I re-barrel several every year.If you ever have to dis-assemble the bolt make sure it is done by someone who knows their way around these rifles....don't ask me how I know this....

Hi Marty,
Have you decided which BSA model you have? I omitted to post Pics 3 & 4 you sent me earlier, so these are now attached. If there had been a .222 round lying on the follower in pic #4596 then that would have clinched it as a 'Hunter' for me.

Ithaca NY imported BSA (and Tikka LSA) rifles into the US in the 60s-70s, but their postwar catalogues aren't on WaybackMachine as I hoped.
It occurred to me that one way of finding out would be to look at the company website, then look at the rifles on the UK Guntrader sales site.

When you've changed the ring-mounts, and are getting down to making ammunition let me know. I've had a Heym SR40 LH .222 for a long time, and think I've learned what works best by trial and error.

I’m in process of switching to Leupold rings and mounts on this rifle. Assuming that goes ok, I won’t need these.

Is anyone interested in the PH A3 and A11 dovetail mounts that are on this rifle?
Pay the postage from Canada and they’re yours.
