Vickers Martini Action Empire Model Miniature Target Rifle S/H Calibre .22" RF
Product Details
The Empire model was one of the last variants of the Vickers Martini actioned miniature target rifles.
Along with the Jubilee model they had “Improved action with adjustable trigger pull”. “Guaranteed barrels” and a “Walnut stock with deep forend”.
Vickers came late into the miniature rifle game in the 1920s going head to head with companies like BSA and W.W.Greener in supplying the small bore target rifle shooters of the day lead by the Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs. They had a relatively short production span from the early 1920s up to 1939 and the start of the Second World War
The Vickers rifles had one fundamental difference to the opposition the barrel and action came as one piece and seems to have be a successful approach to miniature rifle making as it held its own with the competition in winning medals and cups.
This fine example is in first class condition for its age and still shows some of the case hardening on the block. The rifle has been fitted with a bespoked set of hand stop and pistol grip which are well finished wood adding greatly to the rifles charm and shootability.
Interestingly the barrel/receiver and action have matching numbers with the barrel/action being prefixed “E” for Empire models but the action being prefixed “S”.
This rifle is complete with the “Perfection” rear sight and AG Parker model 2 tunnel foresight, Parker Hale’s foresight element container and sling swivels.
