    Rust blueing is totally inappropriate on the Lithgow rifle of that period as they were Parkerized. The rifle actually has a large amount of original finish and looks really good!

    Heavy slow bullets will group to the right with right-handed shooters (or to the left if you are that way inclined). It is caused by the longer barrel time allowing your body to pivot slightly with...

    The old 92's had a fairly thin barrel and a drop of water, snow, or mud in the muzzle could cause a bulge right at the muzzle which is very hard to see. If the barrel looks good to the eye from the...

    I use AR2213SC in a 26" barrel with the my .30/06 and the powder difference between hot but no pressure signs on the case to primers falling out is bugger all. I am running 167 grain Lapua Scenars...

    Any good condition M17 will handle either cartridge well but I made sure I built my own .30/06 long range rifle on a Winchester M17 action. M17 actions by Eddystone, Remington and Winchester were...
