February 2008 News

It has been rather too long since the news has been updated,  we have been travelling all over the countryside calling on dealers showing and distributing our product line which now includes RWS ammunition and the Titan range of rifles from Austria, these have proven popular and have had excellent reviews in the various shooting magazines.

In the Feb. 2008 edition of "Australasian Sporting Shooter" magazine respected reviewer Nick Harvey gave the .223 Titan 3 an excellent review and in a footnote to a chart of accuracy results stated " This is the most accurate sporter in .223  I've tested to date. No doubt the crisp, light trigger combined with the very short, fast, firing pin fall contributed to consistently fine accuracy. The bedding system with fully floating barrel is also a contributing factor".

You can see previous reviews of the Titan 6 rifle in 30-06 calibre in the September 2006 Australasian Sporting Shooter and the December-Jan 2007 "Australian Shooter" magazine.

Our next delivery of RWS ammo will arrive around Easter subject to shipping schedules, until this arrives we have very limited supplies of rimfire and air pellet lines, we have still got reasonable stocks of various centerfire ammunition and components.

We will attend a number of arms fairs in various locations in the next few months (refer to front page) and will also be visiting IWA, the major trade exhibition held annually in Nuremberg, Germany for discussions with our suppliers and to see if there are any other lines which could suit our customers needs. This will mean our office will be closed from 11-22 of March while I am in Europe.
