    has anyone ever tried any products from this company? i'm probably going to buy a rail and possibly mounts so i was just wondering if anyone on boards had any dealings with them and their products

    This is merely observational opinion having never owned one of their products but only seen them on shelves or other's rifles.

    They seem decent, and made of suitable material. They hold well on smaller caliber, but it's not the composition i would have issue with, but the accuracy of their build/design. I'm not being "brandish", but with Warne, Burris, Ken Farrell, Near, etc there is a level of expectation in regards to how well made they are and do they do the job well. So is a 300mm set of rings 300mm. Or are they 30.5 or worse again 29.2mm. Is the 20 moa rail actually 20 moa. Are the holes for attaching it to the receiver correcvted, and squarely drilled. IOw will it pull the scope of centre, and loose you moa in windage.

    I base all of this merely on the fact that EGW accessories are between 50 - 80% ceaper than most other brands. I'm afraid i'm from the school of if something seems too cheap is usually is or is for a reason.

    Again only based on opinion, not on actual usage so i could be way of base.

    thanks for the reply, i can see the logic in what you are saying

    Please don't let this put you off. I would definitely wait for an answer from someone with actual experience rather than opinion. However the thing i see most common with lads having problems retaining zero is poor quality mounts, rings, rail, etc. Buy the best you can afford, a good reputable make, and eliminate this from the offset or better again before it starts.

    I bought a rail from them and it fitted great. No issues with dimensions with Burris Xtreme rings either.
    I'd happily buy from them again.
    I got a voucher for money off a future purchase as well.
