Jack, the above link is to a BSA firearm made in England and marked 220 caliber. Just exactly what is 220 caliber? I was guessing 22 but am I correct? IF a 22 is that the standard 22 rimfire or is it a centerfire of 22 calibe? I appreciate any advice/info you can offer OR anyone else can offer.

.220 is .22 LR its how the brits do things ..

but i think this is a BSA martin rifle ( Martini set it up as a target version )

Thank you sir. That add with the .300 Long is interesting! Might do some research on that. Wonder if that is a 30 cal rimfire or centerfire.
