    Great challenge. People getting out and shooting. What it’s all about. And of course the chance to beat Gunny. Appreciate it Mr. Revolver Guy!

  3. Bret says:

    22LR CHALLENGE/CALLOUT
    Gday mate, I just wanted to let you know that the SK match 22LR (red) gets great groups in my LA 101 for a lot less cost then Eley match. So I would try those through your LA 101 next trip to the range. Also RWS do a 22 LR HV round that is great in the field in the LA 101.
    In case you get another Lithgow I can say my LA 101 in 22 Mag that loves 30gr CCI VNT Polymer tip. My LA 102 in 6.5 Creedmoor likes Hornady 143gr ELDX. My mates LA102 308 loves Aussie Outback 165 Sierra SBT gameking. Our Lithgow rifles all shoot ragged holes at either @ 50 (LA 101) @ 100 (102) both indoors and outdoors with those factory loads.

    Hey Mate, just saw your video with cci standard. I’ve been using them for a while now and they are great. Bot a fan of their faster stuff though.

  7. James Miller says:

    I noticed that you used a laminate Lithgow 101 in the challenge. I have 4, 2 – 22 mag, 1- 22 lr and 1- 17hmr. I just recently got them. Upon disassembling, I found cracks in the action screw holes areas, especially at the winged recoil lug mortise. These rifles were made in 2016-2017 according to the sticker in the stock forearm channel. Would appreciate you checking to see if your rifle has the same problem. Al 4 of mine do. The action screws take a 3 mm hex bit. I’m in the process of trying to get replacement stocks. As of now, no one in the US imports Lithgow rifles. Davidson acquired the remaining L

  8. Mine is not cracked — are you telling me that Howa is not importing them anymore?

  9. James Miller says:

    Legacy Sports in Nevada was the Importer and Davidsons in Arizona bought their remaining inventory of Lithgow rifles a month or so ago. I recently contacted Lithgow in Australia and they said they have no importer from the US but they are trying to get one. I am surprised that your stock doesn’t have cracks! Did you notice the date on the sticker in the stock forearm channel? Thanks for the quick reply. You are an awesome guy! I really like your day at the range episodes! Thanks again for answering. Jim

  10. I wonder why these are not catching on more in the US. I ordered mine and waited for months on end and have never seen another on in person. Back to the stock, you have me nervous I took it apart again and this time took it out to my bench under the magnifying glass and no cracks. My sticker does not have date it has a code on it (SET.17 Quality Check) Approved by Andrea. But again no cracks.

    And thank you very much for the visiting and giving me feedback on the video’s I continue everyday to try and get better. I wish I was a professional editor. Thank you

    mr revolver guy, I enjoy your channel. One comment that I think might help you shooting 22LR. I notice that your trigger finger placement seems to vary. Your flyers seem to happen when the crease of your index finger is n the trigger. An your better shots seem when the pad of your index fnger is on the trigger. Maybe I am wrong hard to tell from tV but just a thought and maybe it helps

    My Lithgow 101 – At the Range on June 11, 2021
    Specs in previous Posts.

    As I wrote in my post of May 22, the 101 REALLY needs a much lighter trigger for the bench – currently at 3.5 lbs. To that end, I’m on a waiting list for a

    Lithgow LA101 – trigger spring set from Lumley Arms ( https://lumleyarms.us/ ) which, their web site claims will be 1.6 lbs when installed correctly.

    I wish I could get to 1 lb but, I’ll take what I can get.

    Yes, the targets below are the best of the day; I’m doing my best to test the rifle – not my terrible shooting skills especially reading the wind.

    Hay guys sorry for the confusion but I can’t claim 6th place on the small group challenge as Lynne my girlfriend shot the target I was range officer at the club on the afternoon graveyard shift I did post it in on my email account as she very shy but how that has changed over the last few days the stick I’m get about her being a better shot
    Watch out Mr revolver guy i think she wants a shoot out with you 😅 UK Vers USA if your game regards Brendon and Lynne

  16. Oh you do not have to worry about claiming the credit because as soo as I get the time I am going to change that entry to point to Lynne LOL.
