WOW - just look at how RICH that wood looks. That's the first word, came to mind on the colour and finish.
Such an interesting action for a British Rifle.
How's the bore/chamber condition?



Hello Daryl_S,
Thanks for the reply.

Bore has very slight signs of black powder use and chamber is excellent.

Hello bwanabobftw,
Thanks for the reply.

I should be shooting it tomorrow.

Beautiful gun, even more beautiful case.
I'd definitely take that out for a hunt, be a great squirrel gun or bunny buster and a gun like that was ment to be hunted with.



Hello 260rem,
Thanks for the reply.

You bet, and I intend to bring home a few squirrel and bunny tails. .. as well as a few feathers.

This would be considered as a curio here in Queensland, because you can't buy factory ammunition then no firearms licence is required.
Very nice piece Buckstix - I hope she shoots as good as she looks!



Hello 94x63mm,
Thanks for the reply.

I'll see how she shoots tomorrow.

Buckstix - would a .32 S&W or Colt Long case work?
It would have to be necked, of course.



Hello Daryl_S,
Thanks for the reply.

I don't think those are used to make the 297-250 Rook cases. Most will rework 22 Hornet brass. Buffalo Arms sells their reworked 22 Hornet brass for $1.27 each but its currently out of stock. RCC has their custom 297-250 rook brass in stock for $3.68 each. I don't have to rework any brass because I have several hundred pieces of correct brass from Bertram and also the reworked 22 Hornet brass from Buffalo Arms. I've been shooting this caliber for years loaded with a 50g 25acp bullet and 3.8g of 2400..
