In my own collection is a rather well preserved Mossberg .22 target rifle, and I’m working on restocking a rifle with a new wooden stock, so I’ve been paying close attention to gun stock finishes. These come in a bewildering variety of stains, oils, and waxes, their use depending...
whether it’s wood, plastic, or metal. I found this particularly beneficial when cleaning firearms with delicate finishes, such as a vintage rifle with a wooden stock, which remained undamaged and intact. During my usage,
The choice of the double trigger (but you can also have the single trigger as an option) coupled with an English stock, in addition to saving at least another sixty grams of weight derived from the elimination of the pistol grip, ensure maximum comfort of use in this configuration. We were...

The stock has a really effective recoil-reduction system, a big plus for waterfowlers and high-volume target shooters. Tests have shown that a shotgun has two distinct recoil impulses. The first is when the shell goes off, and the second is when the bolt slams back into the receiver. The...
