We had our annual B.D.S. Stalker’s Shoot at Bisley at the British Sporting Rifle Club recently , and my 1949 example demonstrated that it can shoot well if I point it in the right direction.





Course of fire (B.S.R.C. Swedish Deer Test) is 6 Stop at the Wall Double Runs, with the deer emerging from cover at 100 meters to stand for the first shot, then running to the opposite end as the second shot is taken at the moving target.

Target has electronic scoring and a print-out is shown.

Shots 6 and 10 on the left hand outward runs I clearly checked my swing too soon. Shot 4 on the return run I got my lead right (front edge of the chest for the 5 ring to intercept the bullet with this cartridge) but otherwise lost the plot.

When I got it right the rifle worked well.
