Per another thread, Ed Huntress reminded me that the Australian Cadet version of the Martini action was a superb action for a .22 target rifle. Since they were at one time very common in the UK and Oz, any chance any of them are still available? Just the action would be fine.

we Aussies are being advised to be alert and not alarmed. Perhaos in this shaken not stirred?

They used to be common here in New Zealand as well, but are becoming increasingly expensive and collectable. let me know if you want to keep an eye out for one. I used to shoot 22 smallbore with one many years ago. Geoff
Four or five members of our rifle club (UK) still do all their smallbore shooting with .22 Martinis, but they use various Marks of the BSA International. This is the only Martini model still seen - getting less but still quite a few around (particularly in a long-standing club like ours).
