Cobra Strike Magnum

[Mikeymoo]

I have a feeling that there was another .25" Mercury on sale at about the same time as the MAG and Cobra, but I'm buggered if I can remember it's name ?

That was the 635 Magnum which came years later

He distanced himself , as I understand it, from the Camilleri offering as these barrels were only rifled for about 12" of their length

They were actually rifled their whole length ....according to Cardew the first 12 inches was .243" (6.17mm) and for some reason the last 5 inches tapered out to .280" (7.1mm)

Ah, I wasn't very clear, I meant someone other than BSA.

I'm thinking someone like Don Grey who sold the .20 Diana G80 --- I'm probably completely wrong, I normally am.

I had one i picked up for £150 locally, polished the action & had it reblued but it was a pita to find compatable pellets for, the last batch of milbro rhinos worked well enough through it but then milbro went bust & i'd scratched the .25 itch by then so sold it on. Much prefer my challenger .22 although the magnum was a fun tin basher. I got it originally as a ratting gun then never saw a rat for 3 years but dropped a few bunnies with it up to 30 yards. My mate simon still has a cobra strike.

Steve Harper Offered .25 and .30 sleeved barrels that's the only other one I can think of
