This rifle makes only TWO known examples on the entire US interweb and my serial # is consecutive to the other being #197 and mine being #196. They are also British gov proofed in 1966. My rifle happens to have a large sticker showing it was used in the 1977 Queen's Silver Jubilee Competition which I am currently trying to research. Its amazing to me the limited amount of info about these rifles... you would think they would be better documented as to production numbers/years etc. Oddly enough, this rifle has an offset front and rear set of sights and the front being fully adjustable up/down and left/right. This is another double set trigger configured rifle with an extremely light pull.
Anywho... here she is.

How cool is that?!! Nice looker Cannon!
Thank you for the share and info...
You dog.
What kinda ammo does that one like? jd
I haven't even shot this thing yet.. :-[
Rimfire rifles are crazy picky about what ammo they do best with. Yoh can have two production rifles right off the assembly line prefer two entirely dif types of ammo. I believe most of this is due to rim thickness vs headspacing from one rifle/ammo to the next. I have tightened the headspace on my M12 by a few thousandths and it completely changed what ammo worked best in that rifle. I haven't ever weighed my rounds simply because shooting decent match grade ammo it would imho be overkill.

There is a bunch out there, but I haven't tried them all. The important thing to remember is... stick to 40gr round nose lead... lubed preferably, and under the sound barrier.
wow - sorry for the necro thread revival but that thing is SWEET
that is all
