Sportco Model 72 - 22 Cal - More Kimber history

Ausrotor · Apr 17, 2023

Gday Folks,
I have for sale a Sportco Model 72 22 cal rifle, these were built by Jack Warnes first Australian company prior to when he started kimber. So an interesting peice of both Australian and Oregon history.

This one is in good working order and condition, could use a stock refinish but an interesting peice. It is part of my made in Australian yet banned there collection theme, but I'm returning to Australia in the future so I need to find it a good home. I have another rifle made by this company as well so would be happy to sell both together.

See attached photos, I'm happy to work with your FFL for transfer.

Just for reference, this rifle is fairly similar in many ways to the savage model 6, with gill cuts and the ability to lock the bolt in place to use in a bolt action style.

Sir, Would your other Sportco rifle be a Sportco Martini? If so, I would be very interested in purchasing it.
