Here is a different way of spending the rimfire budget - not sure it would get you on the podium at a comp, but you would be the most elegant of the losers.

thats incredible. $6300 on the high end doesnt seem that bad. will cost you another $2000 to send it to H&H to have it finished though.
i love that thing.

$8,300 wouldn't be the tyre budget for a decent season of rallying - and this could be passed onto your grandchildren.
You know you want it.

Odd that many pictures of the guns do not feature even a passing shot of the chamber.
I suppose collectors are more interested in the exterior and provenance.

Ah, my fault then. Didn’t catch that the rifle you linked to was made in 2019 and was unfired.
I was referring to the other guns they are auctioning off. Some made in 1929, like this one:

That's niiiice. For 20,000GBP I bet they'd take a photo if you asked -there is an enquiry tab on the page.
Fortunately for me I shoot left handed, and that is a RH rifle. But for that (and a box of money) I'd be in.

as hard as finding a place to stamp a shitty import stamp on it. thats one of those things you try to get into the country on a private jet and no customs. it would destroy that thing to put an importers name on it.
maybe but anyone familiar with RIA auctions here in the states knows no one opens the action in their 4-5 pre-auction photos.
im actually just as interested in this..... and i need VERY detailed description of the steps taken to "deactivate" it.
if you are familiar with Rock island, they usually only have like 3 photos for a rifle that will sell for $15k. its just how they do it.
maybe if its something odd, they'll jump the photos up to 4 or 5 total. and none with the action open anywhere.
It’s almost like…asking to see an open chamber is like asking to see their bunghole…lol
That strikes me as…I dunno…as affected high-class lazy prudishness or something, so weird

i think its just general lazyness and possibly efficiency. whoever is taking the picture isnt a gun person, most likely. they just hire a photographer, tell him/her to take these photos, dump them to the auction guys who are responsible for listing.
the last auction i was monitoring and trying bid on was a 3 day one in Bedford, TX, there was 700 lots each day.
