    A kinda different 256 Newton

    Sorry, text slipped away. The Model 1922s are the finest rifles to carry the Newton name. They also had double set triggers although in a new design. They faced each other. Newtons next endeavor was his Model 1924. These rifles ( about 1000 rifles) were not well made and are not popular with...

Finally I was able to buy some Norma 215 grain SPRN bullets and with 45.5 grains of H4350 it shoots about 0.8 inch at 50 yards (with the open sights and old eyes)...
