Ever once in a while you can pick off a sleeper on Gunbroker. I have been looking for one of these for a while. Just won the auction for this .303 Sporting Martini marked Halloway and Naughton. From the markings I think this is retail gun and not actually made by them. I saw one of these for sale in France marked Bonehill and I think they were the actual maker. The French shop would not export out side EU. https://www.naturabuy.fr/MARTINI-HENRY-303-C-G-BONEHILL-BIRMINGHAM-item-6678871.html There also was another similar in Germany, bit fancier that had been rechambered to 8 x5 7 JRS and the rib cut and claw scope mounts fitted. To butcher an old antique sporting rifle like this-tasteless. Beautiful rifle, ruined! https://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=8765714#img Anyway this new acquistion will go to the range when it arrives and we will see if it shots well enough to go elk hunting with me this fall. |
