Hi all,
We have a firearm manufacturer here called 'Lithgow Arms'. They've been making rifles for over 100 years but mostly for our military. Over the last decade or so they've been making commercial rifles and they've brought out some new models in the last 12 months, and I know they're working on a few more.
I believe they mainly aim to compete with Tikka and some of the features of their centrefires are similar to Tikka, whereas some of the features of their rimfires share similarities with CZ.
I'm ordering a LA102 Varmint in .223 and putting a big ZeroTech scope on it, mainly to be a ute/culling rifle, but to also work into some light target work if I want to. I haven't bought a brand new rifle for a very long time as I normally buy used rifles, or I've been focusing most of my time on archery. However, I've been needing to write a lot more magazine articles about rifles over the last 12 months so I've started lifting my shooting level and now I'm really excited to get into this rifle and shoot some animals.
Do any of you blokes in North America see Lithgow rifles around much, or know much about them? They only have a handful of models and one of the criticisms of them down here is that they are fairly heavy, but the LA102 Hunter model was developed to satisfy some of that market. I believe there is more lightweight stuff in the pipeline.
