Description:
Sportco Model 44 chambered in 7.62x51mm / 308
The Omark Model 44 is a bolt action single shot target rifle made in Australia. First released in 1968 as the Sportco Model 44 produced in Sportco's Adelaide factory, production was taken over by Omark in the 1970s, then by MAB Engineering in Brisbane in 1984.
The rifle was the mainstay of Australian full bore target shooting for many years replacing the .303in. Lee–Enfield. Being a purpose-built target rifle it soon showed its superiority against rebarrelled surplus rifles.
The Omark Model 44 was tested as a sniper rifle by the Australian Defence Force. Although not adopted, they were used in certain military competition shoots as well as marksmanship training in both military and civilian events.
Good working order and condition for its age.
Includes rifle, timber box, cleaning rod, central No.4 peep sights with 2.2, 2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.8, 3.0, 3.0, 3.2 peep discs.
