Finally picked up an A-Square rifle in .470 Capstick, been looking for one for a long time in a not so wildcat round. I'm just getting into reloading and this one seems to be and easy one to reload and brass is not a problem to find. I really like the stock and the way the rifle looks, probably a minority on that! But if there's ever been a tougher built hunting rifle I'd love to see it!

I also like the A-Square rifles. They're not much to look at, but shoot them side-by-side with another rifle in the same big caliber and that stock will start to make more sense.

I think there really cool looking myself, this one I have has really pretty wood so somebody must've opted for it when it was originally ordered. I would like to find some old sales ads or brochure's from back in the day. I have the A-Square reloading manual but that's it.

In my opinion they are very "club-like" stubby rifles, sort of the bolt version of Searcy doubles, but they do shoot well
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

I haven't shot mine yet, but I do like the way it feels. To me it feels better coming up to my shoulder than my old M77 Ruger .458 Winchester. And the action is a very slick P-17.

They did have an option for the Appearance Package, which provided for nicer wood, an ebony forend tip, and perhaps polished metalwork.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
