[QUOTE="huffmanite, post: 680696, member: 26864"] Have a BSA Martini model 12 Target rifle in 22 LR. This model BSA rifle was produced between around 1908 to late 1930s. Have no idea what year mine was made. Has a rear micrometer peep sight. Darn nice trigger in the rifle. It was in pretty sad shape when I got it, but was able to restore it to shootable condition. Of the 22 rifles I own, feel more comfortable shooting it over 100 yards and most of my other 22s are scoped. Recently a fellow shooter at range was shooting at a 200 yd paper plate with his very nice bolt 22 rifle with a darn nice scope on it that he has tricked out for 200 yd shooting. I happen to have the BSA rear sight still set from shooting at clay pidgeons on our 200 yd berm. Hit a few of them too using bulk cheapo ammo, like Wincherster Dynapoints or CCI Blazer, forget which. But I must admit it was a windless day and I probably averaged one clay per 4 or so shots, once I'd run up the rear sight a great number of clicks. Knowing he was a better shot than me, gave him the rifle to try and told him sight was set for 200, just center front sight in the peep and you'll probably hit pretty close to the plate. With first shot, he hit the plate. Anyway, about 8 shots later with what I recall was Match ammo, he'd shot around a 5" group with the rifle on the paper plate. Then he tried to buy the rifle off me.
