Thread: BSA 7x57 advice

. I've since bastardised it with a new scope, hoping the old rings hold up for a bit. Thanks heaps for the quick reply. I have some hoppes in the cupboard, would that be ok?

Looks like a BSA hunter? Are both open sights intact? Cool rifle.

Not sure who does reblueing in chch, but you can always find somebody elsewhere in the country, and get Hunting & Fishing or Shooters Supplies to send the rifle on your behalf.

As for preserving the blueing - a bit of gun oil on rag will do. Rub it in and wipe away any excess. You can then use a wax (I.e renaissance wax) over it. It'll waterproof the metal somewhat, and protect it from sweat etc. I can send you a can of the stuff. PM me if interested.
