I posted in a thread last night regarding information about Premier potentially shutting down. With the time zone differences here in Australia I woke up this morning and wanted to check if any conclusions or updates could be provided but I can't find the thread I posted in? As a recent...

This is still a work in progress but it's coming together nicely. I'm impressed with the Premier light tactical, only gripe is that it did not come with a manual and the turrets are a tad too easy to turn but overall it's a fine package. Range report to come once it gets back from the...

Gents, I recently acquired a RAD rapid brake intended for a .308 win barrel. I'm now thinking I would prefer to use it on my 6.5x47 barrel. Is there any downside to using the brake given that the exit hole is opened up for 30cal? Thanks, Rath

Gents, Some mates and I have put together a practical shooting match to take place on the 8th May here in Canberra @ the NRA range. Some basic guidelines: All gear must be carried from shooting mound to mound i.e. pack light and ensure that your gear is easily and quickly portable. Rear...

Hi Gents, I have a Badger FTE that is held in place with a pinch bolt to lock it down, I've been tightening the pinch bolt by feel, I was wondering if there is a recommended torque "tightness" I could be using to ensure the brake is held in place without over or under tightening. Thanks Rath
