"Shot the rifle on saturday 1st time as soon as I got back from picking it up! had it on zero in 2x shots ran barrel in. Shot 300 & 500 yards sun and did well came 2nd in practice comp & I think that was due to to my loads, got some new ones for this weekend !! I'd just like to say thanks for how easy ordering the gun was and its just what I wanted !"

"Yesterday, popped up on a whim to have a go at the McQueen's Competition; never shot it before, but thought it sounded interesting when it was described to me a few weeks ago.

To cut a long story short: I turned up, fired one warm-up go, then shot (what I'm told) is the highest score ever...getting maximum possible points 60 with 10X! I don't think anyone believed me when I mentioned that I'd never shot McQueen's before!

My group size was 0.6MOA.....I'd have been happy with that for 10 shots at a static target!

My first (and, almost certainly, only!) Bisley medal. I'm still chuckling about it!"

"I shot the rifle on Friday. It was 2 degrees C and raining.

It took only 4 rounds to find the V bull at a hundred yards after which the rifle performed faultlessly.

At three hundred yards I shot a 48 out of 50 on a snap target ( 10 rounds in 60 seconds on top half of a service target) with some scratch rounds I made up earlier, even though I still need to increase the butt length to get the correct scope relief. That impressed me a lot.

What impressed me even more that another member of the club tried a couple of rounds at 300 yards, without adjusting scope focus, and scored 2 V bulls.

WELL IMPRESSED.

The rifle is worth every penny.

Thanks for your help."

"Just came back from the "Gallinago Trophy" held in Bern/Switzerland on saturday last weekend.

After a challenging sniper competition in the mountains of Switzerland we took 1st place with our 308 Win. AW-rifles.

There had been line fire from 30 to 600m as well as special exercises from unconvenient positions such as shooting out of a car while driving, shooting in hanging position on a rope etc. Furthermore moving and shooting a pistol course while being enchained to your partner (crazy stuff). After orientation and a stalking exercise the competition ended.

Again we learned a lot through that day and our rifles functioned flawlessly. Except the weight of the rifle is a burden to carry the whole day. I hope the new barrel will clear that problem.

I will send pictures tomorrow.

Thank you for your support!"

"Following a trial shoot at 600 yards with my own A.I. Palmamaster (which I bought from yourself) a friend and fellow Club Member is very interested in buying his own. I recommended him to Sporting Services but he is toying with the decision between an A.I. and an RPA Quadlock. His wife is also a Member of our Club and she shoots right-handed whereas he is a leftie, so they need an ambidextrour rifle such as the A.I.

I see you are out of stock of the 'AE' model and there are a couple of AW's on Guntrader (overpriced) so I wonder if you could let me know if you could get hold of another Palmamaster in the AICS in 7.62 x 51 NATO / .308 Win.

I would like to thank you again for my wonderful Palmamaster with which I scored 75 & 15 at 600 in May with my hand-loaded Lapua Aficionado ammo."

"I was in a field-shooting (I don't know the english word) yesterday. I shot 5-shot groups at 8 cm. at 644 meters ( 5-7 m/s wind, slant from behind) - damn it's a good rifle. At 900 meters I hit every time at SAAB-target (falling targets), I don't know exact where I hit, but I hit.

I used fabric ammo (Lapua Scenar 167 grains) the speed is 836 m/s. exact the same speed at the AE with the 24" barrel - I'm surprised that it has the same speed, but we tryed 5 shots in the Chrone. and it shows 833 to 836 (1 at 833 and 4 at 836).

I'm very happy that I chosed the 20" barrel, I'ts excatly as good as the 24" barrel but the short barrel is much more handy (it's kicking at litle bit more, even it got the muzzlebraker, but I can live with that)."

"I would like to thank you for the excellent service you provided.

I am truly impressed with the new hardware.

A few of my shooting buddies will have a little shimmer of green this Wednesday when I take my "new" rifle
for a test drive.

I was invited on a Springbok hunt this weekend aswell - so my parcel came just in time !!!!!

I will forward all inquiries to you directly."

"My brother did pretty well with his barrel. It's crazy, we found a powder load where almost none of the primers blew up. We have to change the barrel soon. If possible we want to make another export permit ready. Our local gunsmith feels himself unable to make international business, he's are not flexible and afraid of everything what they've never done before... :-)

...

We are very happy to get your support and ability to compete with your excellent product."
