BSA has a sweetie of a 71...... I had the pleasure of fondling it for a while yesterday while we sat, visited and jawed about Winnies. I've owned quite a few 71's over the years and his is a very good one. An honest wear, early long tang with a complete bolt peep is a plus, plus, plus.
How do they feel....... Well....let's put it this way....when you cycle cartridges through it, its like manually shifting an exquisite transmission.....smooth, positive and strong.
JMHO,
