    35 years ago we found a very rusty Relum Taurus in an abandoned half sunken boat It was covered in red rust. I took the stock off & chucked the rest in a tank of diesel for a week. Put a new piston head & washer in it & it & it was shooting again. The trigger on these is agricultural but you can see that the budget for these was spent mostly on the barrel. It is beautifully rifled & shoots really well. We still have it.

    IJ would have liked this story, the rescue of a ‘Hungarian Swamp Donkey’ from an actual swamp!

    I think one or two of the AGW writers maybe BTDT liked the Taurus or Telly. Clearly a very robust rifle. A heavy trigger can be overcome with enough practice like with the old .303 Enfield..
