Hi Folks,
New member here from Northwestern Ontario, Canada. Have come across your forum many times and is a wealth of info. I enjoy hunting and am a part time back yard benchrest shooter with 308.
Have recently brought home my late Grandfathers BSA from B.C. and have been searching for info on it since but have come up empty handed. Starting to think it is the only in existence. The rifle was purchased brand new in 1948 and as far as I know the same for the scope. My father has recently passed this on to me, which in turn, I will do for my son when the day comes and after of course a few deer and moose.
I am hoping some of you folks can tell me what model it actually is, type of action and maybe some history. Had never heard of BSA till Dad pulled this out and dusted it off. It is registered as a CF2 but does not look like any of the few pictures I have seen. The rear of the bolt has more of a REM 700 look to it.
The markings on the receiver are,
Ser# Hxxxx (just 4 digits)
What looks like N&C 41 GRS~220 BULLET
BV BP NP . 30/06 2.50" (the initials have crowns above them)
BSA emblem on top and MADE IN ENGLAND
If anyone is familiar with the scope, that would be great to!
The scope is a Redfield which says,
2x-7x
REDFIELD (a symbol which looks like a capital T with half the top missing) TUBE
With WEAVOR PIVOT MOUNT 1000" rings.
It has very fine cross hairs.
Cheers, Bob
