Here is mine. It's a late 1950's BSA Royal Featherweight. The barrel is a 1 in 10 twist 24" Bevan King SS. The action and barrel are teflon coated. I would highly recommend Bevan but age has caught up to him and he is now 99.9% retired. As mentioned there are many good gunsmiths in Western Canada and some exceptional ones in BC like Bill Leaper and Martin Hagn.

The final load I settled on is a 210 grain Barnes Tipped Triple Shock (TTSX) launched at 2850 fps.

The rifle tips the scales at 8 pounds scoped with a full magazine.

The 24" barrel gives the rifle of front end "hang" and it is very easy to shoot offhand.

Exit wound from the 210 TTSX. Moose was shot at ~250 yards and he went only about 50 yards before the blood drained out of him.
