Quick little random question: When I first acquired my .22lr bolt action rifle, there was a light coat of rust on the barrel. Not knowing the consequence, I took some wire wool and just kinda brushed it off, which worked super well! However, the inscription on the barrel with the manufacturer, caliber, model, etc... is faded, I think because of the wire wool. Anyway to get it back? It's not that big a deal, like, I can still see the inscription, but it's just faded.
Also, I'm not gonna get a center fire rifle anytime soon, but just for when the time comes, what company makes an action that can be run fast, and have a lot of rounds put through it. I am new to how rifles last over time so, let me know if there's something I'm not considering here. For example, I've heard that .243 is not good for putting a lot of rounds down range.
