    Hi Russ,

    So, a single clamping block forward of the action? Therefore a good portion of barrel still free to float and a stress free action?

    Bing!

    .22LR, the Strela was a Smallbore. These were made at the Izhvesk arsenal, and I think developed into the Ural 5 and 6 rifles used by many soviet shooters in the '80s and' 90s.

    I'm not sure if there was a 300m CF version.

    Now that would make an interesting alternative to a Martini at the local club eh?

    Think the new FWB2800 has a barrel clamp/tuning device ?

    The NSRA sold (and possibly imported) various Soviet rifles in the 1960s; the Strela, MTS12 (Tula arsenal equivalent) and the "Vostok" CM2 Standard Rifles. A club mate had a Strela 2, which I shot once or twice. These are big rifles; the barrel is 28 or 29in, so much the same as a BSA International, but on a longer bolt action.

    Its enough to make me want to take up .22 rim fire shooting again (but with a rifle this time!).
