A very nice Sportarget sighted Mk1 recently sold on G*nstar a month or two ago for £300 and I know at least 2 other members on here have owned similar rifles, so they are out there.

Agreed about Frank Spittle's book - I regret never visiting his Museum of Marksmanship when the opportunity was there.

John, thanks for that. Just wondering about the term 'Sportarget', is that the trade name they were marketed under or rather a more general description to indicate their potential to fill a dual role? I like the Webley mk III but BSA late version 'target' rifle is beginning to get attractive.
