I just post what I believe, based on nearly 50 years of shooting & hunting with nearly every known brand and model of firearm ever made.
Well swampy the quote here from you just shows how stupid you really are. I can list a few makes that I have had or own and I'll wager not only have you never had one I doubt you have even heard of them
.
BSA Model E (came in .270, 30-06 and 303)
Swinburns patent Martini (mine was in 577/450)
Rigby (mine is a Model 1892 Mannlicher)
Musgrave
Husqvarna model 46 (Mine is a 9.3x57mm)
Vickers (mine was a Mk11 "Francotte" Martini made at Westminster London)
Medwell & Perritt ( slightly unfair as I doubt not only have you never heard of them but you would have a heart attack at the price
)
Sportco (mine is a M44 target rifle butt hey made sporting (hunting) rifles too. The company was brought by Omark)
Steyr (Mine is a Model 1903)
P. Chapuis .....shot a beauty but didn't think I could afford it. should ahve taken a loan out
Dbl SxS in 8x57R price was about $7000
RAF .... another Dbl this time O/U in 7x57R. A bit too French in style for me so I passed.
Ross M10 in .280 Ross despite have 1/3 of the money down on it the dealer sold it to a higher offer... Grrrrrrrrr
I don't speak to him now!
Obendorf Mauser M96 Slide Bolt (mine was a 6.5x55)
Lakelander ....... Could not agree the price on this one in .308
Sabati ?
Antino Zoli ?
Hmmm I wonder if you have even seen a BSA rifle let alone owned one or shot one. Parker-Hale possibly but again unlikely.
There that's just from a few minutes thinking of what I have now and have had
in the past. The last few are ones that for reasons of price and our licensing system either we could not agree the price or by the time the licence was varied to enable me to buy it it was sold. Only one maker is not main stream being a small Husband and wife team building Bespoke rifles.
So how many of those have you even heard of?
How many have you even seen?
How many of those did you get the handle?
How many did you actually get to shoot?
I'll add your answer to how many of them have you owned ................................ Zero
Again you spout nowt but bull! ........................... the amazing thing is that you expect people to believe your crap
