Does anyone have experience with the sportco .222r on the cadet action?
Trying to get an idea on twist rate so I can start theorizing on a bullet weight and powder combo.
Did you buy one?
Going tomorrow or Monday to put a deposit on one, I’ll pay it off once I’m home from holidays, but yes I found one I’m going to buy.

That’s a nice looking gat
Yeah I instantly fell in love
Pls excuse my ignorance. Is that a variaton on a martini action?
Not a variation at all, it’s 100% a martini cadet
I think it was one of these actions at least the same type that I shot a 45-577 Black Powder in last week. I have also shot them in a couple of others as well as the 303.
They would be on the large frame Martini Henry actions. The Cadet actions are scaled down.
I have a large frame martini Enfield 303, a Greener GP in 12ga and a Greener police in 12/14ga.
I’ve shot 310 cadet, 22lr cadet and 577-450 belonging to various mates.

Learn something all the time here. Never bothered to ask and have never seen two together. 
But sometimes ignorance is bliss when it comes to size. 
I picked this up today, these are some before pic’s. Time to give it a clean up now. Also I didn’t actually know who the maker was until I pulled it out of the stock just now. it’s a Greener which makes me extra happy as i have a soft spot for Greener martini actions and i have a few different ones now.
I’ll post some pics once I clean it up a bit.

Hey @bentaz , I’ve got a box of ammo for that somewhere, next time you head north, you might want to call in and grab it.
For sure that would be great, thank you.
I think I might be heading past around Easter mate.
I’m actually in a pickle at the moment for what I’m doing at Easter. I’ve got the Silhouette Nationals on at Little River, The SSAA Muzzle-loading Nationals on in Perth, ( which I’m supposed to attend to qualify again for the Australian team if I want to go to the next World Titles ), and another mobs, ( NSWMLA ), National Championships muzzle-loading shoot on at Hill End.
Anyway, we should be able to work something out to get it to you.

No joy at Golden Flash. Just more temptations. A Cadet in .223 , a very cheap Tikka in .17 Rem…
That’s ok mate, no luck with my lgs either.
Been looking online and the barn seems the best online option for 25bucks a box
I finally have some brass coming for this.
