Sign up now - It's free! I have an accountUhh, I think I ought to tell you, that ain't a rook OR a rabbit....Another favorite of mine, a Rook & Rabbit Rifle chambered for the .297/.250 Rook cartridge. This one retailed by the Army & Navy Co-op Ltd, & later imported to the USA by Griffin & Howe in NY. Primarily intended for shooting small game, traditionaly young flightless Rooks from the branches of trees, & whatever else presented itself while traipsing around the Estate, eh wot?!! I take mine over to Montana on my yearly ground squirrel safari, so mine is now a Rook, Rabbit, & Rodent Rifle! My load is a 58gn Lead Flat Nose bullet over 2.2gns of Bullseye in cases formed from .22 Hornet brass.

For fun, it could be "Hot" and "Cold".
I can relate! I am now the official caretaker of the Grand Sobo's Model 12. The S/N puts it manufacture in 1953...Great uncles Model 12 Super-X Winchester, circa 1954. Handed down to my father then to me.
Was rusty and looked like it needed tossed in a dumpster. Had it cleaned and re-blued in Estacada.
Finally took it out yesterday and it runs pretty well.
