This rifle is one of a kind. The pictures are of the actual rifle you will receive.
These single shot rifles were purpose built for accuracy with issued 7.62 ammunition in the early 1970’ and used for long range (300 to 1000 meters) military target competitions. The rifle evolved from the need for Australian target shooters to have something better than the traditional converted Lee Enfield rifles. It was also extensively tested as a sniper rifle by the Australian Army but never adopted as such.
The rifle has a 60 degree throw bolt with head locking action, bolt locks into the barrel and cocks on opening. It has an extremely short firing pin travel for fast lock times. The trigger is a single pull with adjustment for overtravel, sear engagement and trigger pressure. It is a very short and crisp trigger pull. The strong tubular receiver adds rigidity and adds support for the bolt locking lugs. The heavy wall receiver locks the recoil plate to threaded 26” barrel and receiver plate extends down into the stock bedding material for a tight non moving action. A spring operated bolt stop facilitates removal of bolt for cleaning. The barrel is a 4 groove, 1 in 12 pitch and is fully free floating. The safety is a rotary type and can also be adjustable.
Sights: The receiver is ready to take either Parker Hale or Center Co. rear sights, the front sight block is removable and will take Parker Hale or Center Co. globe sights.
The condition of the rifle can be seen in the pics. No cracks or serious damage to the stock or hand guard.
This rifle has a Parker Hale target sling swivel and Parker Hale front sight element box screwed to the pistol grip to hold inserts (no inserts included).
Front sight block and globe sight is included but NO REAR SIGHT is available.
Bore is excellent. Bright and shiny with strong rifling.
These rifles are very desirable for target shooting and collectible in their own right!
