Yep I heard it at xmas from the guy who he has partnered with buying the drilling machine

This has been something that has always interested me, if you make custom rifles do you use really good factory ammo as a bench mark for how good the rifle starts life and where reloads will take you from there. Not everyone will reload, even those with custom rifles, so being able to shoot factory ammo well must be a requirement?Quote:

Very cool setup. We are lucky to have a shop pushing forward in NZ. We will be able to cut our reliance on US built parts in coming years.
+1 and hopefully encourage others to invest and follow suit to keep competition and realistic prices.Quote:

They have done pretty well so far, and I hope they will find customers abroad to export to. Because I do not want to sound too pessimistic ,but the NZ market might be saturating in a not so distant future . As for the rifle barrel making part of the business, have they employed somebody with the "know how "? It is another science of its own!
Definately a well set up workshop, must be making a huge number of suppressors with a machine Centre of that size.
I have watched Dan come from his back shed to where he is now.
We are lucky to have somebody that is striving to improve every thing he makes better.
He started with fuck all so Dan and Michelle must be doing something right and I might add a seruous passion for what tgey do.
Also the boys down in the back room do a good job as well.
Go for it hre the worlds your oyster!
Yes, he employs Lee who used to work for Border Barrels in the UK. You're dead right about it being a specialityQuote:

Amazing. Just the beginning of things to come by the looks.

So has anyone got a rifle using one of their actions? @Kiwi Greg? If so what are your thoughts?
A client has a 300wsm on one.Quote:

Sweet is it on a long or short? and are their sizes similar to Remington long and shorts? are they comparable to a stiller in quality etc? sorry for all the questions haha pm me if you wantQuote:
