I have given up on the "gun magazine" entirely. I now rely on the Internet for most of my information. I have a strong "BS" filter, which is constantly engaged.
Some discussion in gun shops, with knowledgeable proprietors, is useful. Most often in gun shops you need an extra "BS" filter.
I find this site to be most informative, and by far the best. Another site I have found useful (not for pricing; he wisely doesn't provide any) is 1896mauser.com. I wish there were more fora like that one.
