Thanks Mehul, I will start off with a couple from my 'Rook & Rabbit' rifle collection. First is a Holland & Holland 'The Ross' dating from the last quarter of the 19th Century. The rifle was named after Captain Horatio Ross, a very well known game shot of the day. The rifle has been converted to .22LR from it's original .300 Rook and is in lovely condition. It is fitted with a vintage Jackenkroll scope. The second is a Charles Lancaster under lever action Rook rifle in it's original .297/250 Rook calibre. This rifle is in very good condition. I still shoot this one in HBSA (Historical Breechloading Smallarms Association) competitions even though loading for it is somewhat of a chore. If, like me, anyone is passionate about Rook & Rabbit rifles then a 'must buy' is Colin Greenwoods book 'the Classic British Rook & Rabbit Rifle' which has just been published (ISBN 1 86126880-7) More rifles coming soon.
