Thanks for posting. Public safety announcement? Appreciate the fact you have taken a big risk in posting, but kudos for having the balls to do so.
Certainly not the first one of these to let go that i am aware of. One failed on a .300 Win Mag at a recent field shoot near Akl, and also aware of some other Gen5 units failing recently on magnums. Obviously major design or material issues, still. If this was the US a major recall would be issued. Funny, in NZ ...... shoot the messenger ! (or Shhhhh, it's never happened before....... but here's a replacement.)
Pretty embarrassing for NZ manufacturing if these things are being exported though, and failing. Foreigners often are not so forgiving when stuff blows up on them. The OP probably got a fright and had to change his undies. In the US he might have sued for 'emotional harm' . Lol.
