Nath , I had one that looked exactly like yours many years ago. I bought it mail order new for $29 US.
Mine was a 28 ga. Fun gun! I took it to the local Wednsday night trap shoot one time. It was a hit with everyone. Everyone there had to shoot it at least once.
This one right? Artax Manton. 82cm (32 1/4inch) barrel. Walnut stock, chequered at grip and forend. Colour case hardened lock, trigger guard and butt-plate. Overall length: 124.5cm (49inch) Weight: 2.7kg (6 lbs) approx. Available in 12 bore
Nath, I'm surprised you're surprised that you hit what you were aiming at using PRB They shoot pretty darned good out there at 50yds even

A whippet cross x bedlington terrier. A miniature lurcher.
A rescue dog, I took her in at just over two years old about a year ago now. Still learning the ropes and considering the outdoors and guns frightened her at first, now she can't get enough!
Here is another photo of her taken about a month ago.
Nice gun. I'm sure you will get much good service from it.
Glad to see Jess doing well. She's a treasure.
There was a case of dog neglect recently in Tulsa, (our nearest big city) where the owner had almost a hundred "sight dogs" that were confiscated and given away. Most were Whippet/Bedlington crosses, or appeared to be. They were even waiving the adoption fees. I should have gotten one.

That's one nice lookin', good shootin' smokepole you got there Nath,
By comparison the Stevens 12 ga bolt action I just picked looks like it was cobbled together from bits of WW1 artillery....
Whatever you do always give 100%........... unless you are donating blood.
Looks like a gun that will provide a lot of enjoyable hunting times.

Nath, nice find. Artax is rather mysterious here in the States. I remember discussing some sort of Artax reproduction with the late Val Forgett some years ago.
