Having just sold my 223 rifle I will have 2 slots up for a free variation (rifle and moderator) but have no idea what to get. It would be a terrible shame not to take advantage of the free variations

So, here's the tricky bit .................................

No point in getting another rifle for outdoor target shooting as my club only does 1 shoot a month (and getting there is a problem due to my current health problems) and my Steyr or Howa .308s already do the job nicely.

For indoor (25M) I have the choice of the 22LR, 44mag under lever and the 300 Blackout Handi Rifle (current favourite) or either of the .308s loaded down to suit.

I already have an open slot for another 300 bolt action rifle & mod and having seen that the VZ58 may be available in Trigger Release in that calibre that would certainly be worth looking at or a straight pull from Bradley Arms etc.

I've been waiting since July for Suffolk Rifles to get the NEA-15 in 300Blk they said was on its way for me but that doesn't look like it's happening.

Which still leaves me with the option of either loosing the 2 available slots or finding something I can use indoors. First thoughts were a 22LR LBP but I had a Buckmark and didn't get on with it, just not the same as my old S&W 29 44mag :lol:

Next thought was a centre fire calibre single shot pistol, I believe Mr Badger has one of the sort I'm thinking of, I've previously shot a 7.62 single shot "back in the day" but haven't seen any when looking around the net. The Taurus/Alfa 38/44 LBPs are not an option as I hate the wrist brace.

So, suggestions please

I know a man with a very nice Uberti high wall carbine in 357

Or a 22 bolt action for more sedate practice sessions

Or what about a classic single shot, 310 or 577/450 Martini...or a 12.7 Swedish Rolling Block

or a nice little rook rifle, like a 297/230 or 297/250

I have a .308 bolt action pistol, use it for shooting at longer outdoor ranges, great fun.

Easily made from a howa with a laminated thumb hole stock, and a hacksaw

How about one of these?

See your Alpha...and raise you a MATEBA



NOT FOR SALE, before anyone asks

Now you're just showing off!

Mateba carbine? That'd made an excellent tunnel gun !
