    If your eyes are good, a decent borelight is probably all you need. Occasionally I've had to ask a shop to run a brush through a rifle, and they usually will without complaint, but would depend on the shop. Maybe a pull through and a few 4x2s in a baggy is worth carrying?

    Since you sound like a "practical rifle" shooter, a really well refurbished No4 might be a good place to start; that is one with an excellent bore which someone has restored or "tidied up" for whatever reason.

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
