![]() ![]() 300" Sadly I am in need of practice with aperture sights as I discovered on Sunday when shooting my 7.62mm Sportco Model 44 target rifle. Best I have managed from the bench with this one is a group of 0.219" the average is around. I have been comtemplating fitted scopes blocks so I can put a scope on it to see what it can really do BSA made some wonderful barrels I have a couple of their Super Sport Five models and one has a 6-18x40 Simmons Competition Air Gun scope on it and at 25 yards with Blazer ammo it will pile the shots one atop the other virtually. I don't have an Inter but do have an older Model 12/15 which has the bull barrel. Look and enjoy they are truly a piece of art that offers some of the funnest rimfire shooting I have ever had. John Appleton, MT guns, Randy Davis at Martini gallery and bob adams are all known martini dealers with good reputations as far as I am concerned. There is a dedicated bunch of martini freaks on there that are always willing to offer a helping hand. Get on rimfire central and go to martini forum. Seems the trigger assemblies pretty well all interchange within the series and the clubs often did not keep all the part together, so once sold to exported mis match guns are out there. Due to the fact they came from english clubs many are being imported in that have miss matched parts. I really don't care for non number matching guns. Numbers matching on the barrel, action, drop trigger assembly now look at the block, trigger group and ejector, all have the serial number on them, and all should match. ![]() The older the series, read 12, the harder is seems to be to find a nice one. You might consider 12/15's or model 12's 12's being the older design, but the straight stock and lends itself to bench work nicer than the 12/15 or mk series. They were made in light weights, it brings the weight down to 10lbs or so the full blown mk 2 weighs in at around 14 lbs so offhand shooting is not real practicle. I tend to shoot prone from cross sticks and that is where the gun really shines. Off the bench the lever makes them a pain in butt to shoot. Very accurate and not one on every corner like some of the 22's out there. Shop around the prices are all over the place on the mk series. Hope you have not wasted your money on one of these over rated pieces of english poo. ![]()
