Hi.
After having my 30+ year old Kahles cleaned and sent back to Australia free of charge, (it cost me $80 to ensure and send it to them and) ........Unbelievable Service.
I had just purchased a Remington 700 XCR 257 Weatherby Magnum, and trying to get ammunition or even brass has been a major headache.
Finally got some brass, then tried to get some reloading dies...........No Luck, Any Where.
On the list of the numerous emails and phone, was Halls Firearms in Townsville, spoke to a bloke called Dave, and he said that there would not be any 257 dies in the country for quite some time, not what I wanted to hear, after just getting my 257 and brass.
After saying to him that I was up s**t creek, so to speak, he said to me that he had a 257 and loaded for it, my next question was would he be interested in selling me his.
To cut a long story short, he got back to me the next day, and said I could have his, and he would order a new set for himself.
The service and hospitality shown by Dave from Halls Firearms and great service from Kahles, is something that has restored my faith in the manufacturing and retail industry, which from an old bloke like me, is extremely rare in this day and age.
Cheers Baz.
