Largely defined by the barrel length, front sight band/base arrangement, built on a Bisley.
A Nimrod is one thing I still need to add to my collection, especially since I think it's one of if not the best looking SA package out there.

My Daddy use to call me one all the time, always thought it was bad, guess it just means I'm a real sharp shooter?

Big or little...only Bowen makes Nimrods. Others make basically the same gun but never heard anyone else call it that. Hamilton is a lawyer ya' know...  |

Nimrod was a great grandson of Noah. He was a hunter.
The name has been used for years.
Rifle ranges and rifle models have used the name.
Hamilton used it too. A hunter model.
