Martinis, non-alcoholic but still addictive!

[Bullseye69]

Let's raise a glass and see those Martinis!

I just recently, aboot 5 years ago or so, found Martinis.
And in that time I've collected a few.
2 are Cadets in 22lr and one is a mkii international in 22lr.
They are pretty fun out on a PD field or shooting pine squirrels and chipmunks.

The other 3 are center fires.
They are 22KHornet and 22 Jet improved and then the full stock is a 357magnum that prolly would make a nice deer gun for a youngster.

Love the Martinis, I have a number of 12's & 12/15 actions waiting for barrels and have had left hand MkI & MkII Internationals.

What rails are you using on these? I have to scope this one.

It all depends on the barrel diameter. One i used a weaver 48081. It fit diameter perfectly but I had to drill and tap to fit.
The other has one that came with it and it don't know what it is.
One has a EGW Wincherter 52
Neg 20moa, H0721. Its real close to the diameter but fit hole spacing perfectly.

Barrel is 0.960”. I bought some Leupold standards for a 581. They fit. Need to shorten the 8-40 screws still

In fact, I was shooting it yesterday. I had an original-style "stop ring" bullet mold made, and a friend casts bullets for me. I have a small stash of SR4759 left. Not exactly "small caliber" but interesting.

So thats a .577/450 I'm assuming?

8.15 X 46R. Pretty standard for a Schuetzen.

Ok, was not sure of the model.
Still very nice.

I don’t know why but BSA Martinis fell out of fashion in UK many years ago and now can’t give ‘em away.
They were the go to rifle for 25 yard target shooting on indoor ranges.
That was before Annies came on the scene.
Not sure if people still use them indoors or not as I haven’t seen the inside of a 25 yard range for over 50 years.
Shame really.
Ken.

Ive seen the prices for them in the UK, £200 area.
Here they were/are selling for double that or more.
I even tried to figure out how to get a dozen shipped here to resell.
But was to much hassle.
