This is a single shot you fellows over in Europe may have seen before. I was told it was built by a guy in Ontario in 1912, but ????? Model 71 action, S# on it is 3886N. That is the only stamping on the top-side of the action. It has a 29 1/2" bl. and is chambered in 8.15x46R. It is obvious from the muzzle and breech, this rifle has been re-lined. Interesting choice of calibres. It is a lot of fun to shoot offhand. Holds like a dream! Jacketed ammo is loaded with 174gr. RN .312" Hornady's, which it shoots as well as the .314" 198gr. cast bullets I first tried. I will attempt to pick up a .315" mould, as that is the groove dia. of this rifle. I consistently was able to hit the big rectangular plate at 200 meters, offhand, with both jacketed and cast bullets. The plate is 14" x 16". |
