That looks good Albert - I had a very nice P14 several years ago and sold it for a pittance to clear a slot on my ticket. One of the more stupid things I've regretted. (Did the same thing with a 650cc BSA Gold Flash - Oh and a 350cc Velocette ah, and a very early Original 50 air rifle, Ho Hum!)

I got it very cheap, I think. An old friend of mine had-had a bsa gold star or could have been a gold flash engine I think and a velocette. I have also sold stuff I regret, sold both my Skoda rapid coupes to the scrapyard last one was a uht modlel only 250 made and i sold my my 1972 gt bettle and my favourite one was my manta get coupe. Currently trying not to sell my vw t25 panel van. The p14 is very good condition and looks very well,just waiting for some range time

Cheers Albert

Bbbb but it's sporterised. Like a Gold Flash with disc brakes. :lol:

 

Nice gun though, hope you enjoy it. Used to clean my uncle's P17 when I was a kid. Would like to know more about full-bore rifle shooting. Are there different classes for different degrees of modifications and sights?

Yes, there are different classes for almost any type of rifle, from what you might call standard target rifle, typically any range from, say, 300yds to 1000yds, shot with something like a .308. Only iron sights (aperture) and only a sling for support.

 

At the other end there's the F-Class (open) Heavy rifles, usually large calibre, high power scopes and the rifle supported from a fancy rest at the front and a leather bag at the butt. Too easy you might say - just try it. The "V" bull at 1000yds is only 5 inches across.

 

There are classes for classic service rifles with battle sights and classes where you could compete with a standard foxing rig.

 

Just have a look at this results sheet of a recent Bisley meeting - you could shoot in a Muzzle loading rifle class or a Rook and Rabbit rifle class at 200 yds standing etc.

Here's my F-Class rifle, a Savage 12F 6.5x284 on the 1000yd firing point at Bisley.
