This pretty rifle just sits in the safe, so it's up for sale.
1970's model BSA (Birmingham Small Arms) bolt action 30-06. Imported by Eagle Arms, NY, NY.
I believe the model is a CF2.
Overall a well finished, beautiful and accurate rifle!
Looks to have been fired very little. I have shot it 11 times.
Pros:
- 100% factory.
- 22" barrel
- 14" LOP
- 2 position safety, bolt is locked when safety is on.
- Trigger pull is very nice at around 4 pounds, a bit creepy, but looks to be adjustable (there is an allen screw at the trigger base).
- bluing is very nice! very deep and well finished
- Floor plate is BDL style
- Palm swell on grip is perfect (IMO)
- Bolt shroud has red cocking indicator (See pics)
- Folding rear sight
- Rem 700 scope bases fit 100%
- bore is bright and shiny
- Action screws are mint. I don't think they have been turned since they left the factory.
Flaws:
- A few scratches and safe dings in the stock finish, they don't show well in the pictures, but they are there.
- bluing thinning at muzzle
-slight milling flaw near muzzle, it's blued so it was done at the factory, doesn't show well, but it's there.
-bolt has some very slight discoloration
-white line spacer on fore end tip sit's about 1/32" proud.
-speckling in finish where the scope mounts were.
Accuracy:
I threw some Rem 700 bases and rings on it and put on a proven scope and tried 3 flavors of factory ammo at 100 yards.
Federal Blue Box 180. 3 shots inside of a Quarter.
Winchester 180. 3 shots inside of a Quarter.
Remington 165. Craptastic!
$460 shipped to your FFL from a private party. USPS Money Order. If we have done business prior then any form of payment will do.
A public "I'll take it" trumps tire kickers.
If I've missed something, ask away.
