The Vickers is one of the least frequently encountered of the British Martini-type single shot target rifles. Those of us who collect & compete almost never see one first hand. I never have.

I did not know that the barrel and action were one piece. The British were given to stick in a Parker-Hale liner when accuracy was no longer top notch. The one piece action & barrel must have been a strong negative selling point. The one piece stock would have been a positive point, but not good enough.
