On the first bush trip its on the 22. I havent even shot anything. Its on there to support the forend while I clean, one hand on the rod, one hand holding the stock grip. Not what you would call a "stress test"by any means.
And the result.........

Now the test of any service business is how they handle complaints.
I'm pleased to say QGE passed with flying colours. They asked for a photo to show what happened. When their response was " yes we've had a few of those" I was not filled with a desperate urge to have it replaced. In fact I expressed that opinion and was offered the full purchase price as a credit to a Harris swivel at a great price with postage at their expense.
of course I accepted and the cheap two piece version became this

If I can find a welder with a better attitude than the last "you cant weld that crap" one then i'll have two for the price of one
