So obviously the info on your website about exporting outside of US is no longer the case..

Exactly. Killough can no longer export them, either. Thanks

Skirt the shipping rules? Maybe your wife would ship it

Get it sent to a mate in the US. Get him to Repack it (take out recipe etc) and call it a measuring die or thread protector or something and send it on

You know I had a Browning A-Bolt with Boss on it and an Eclipse with Boss and they were great. I do not recall the name of the web sight back then but when it closed down in the late 1990's early 2000's everyone moved to 24hr. Campfire initially. Any ways back then all the internet experts were talking smack about the "Boss" system being nonsense and a joke and a waste of money.... Never mind all the people that owned them and loved them!

So I find this very interesting as a past owner of 2 very accurate and effective Browning Rifle with Boss. The person that bought one of them was a guy I worked with at a large automotive oem in engineering. He loved it not only did it work like designed but it reduced the 300WM recoil to that of a fairly light 30-06 hunting load. After I sold him one of them it was about a week or two before I bumped into him at work. He was absolutely in love with it and how accurate it was. For the record about 1/2 of the 1500 people in my engineering department were hard core hunters as was this guy. Was it ugly? Yes! Did it work? Yes!

Yes that is the way to go. I would never lie on a customs form in term of value for reduced VAT for renaming it as a generic machine part or thread protector or harmonic tuning device etc.....Is fine since this is not a a mechanical part that can be used to construct a working firearm since it is not a triggering devices or a barrel or rifled part and it does not load or in anyone make a firearm work in any way. It is no different than a radial tuning fork. You can use a cell phone to talk to someone or as part of an IED same thing for a washing machine timer. Better still a piece of wood that can be turned into a fence post, flooring, a cabinet or a rifle stock.

The short answer is, you'll be very close, especially so at those yardages. The long answer has to do with positive compensation and is gun dependent. Some guns may be in perfect tune across a wider range of yardages than others. Keep in mind, we're talking a very small difference. Some guns, IME, may be as much as 1 mark out from 100-600.

Next thing is, I always recommend starting out with the tuner at 100 yards first. The idea is not so much tuning at short range as it is learning the tuner. You want to minimize all the variables. Shooting at 100 eliminates a ton of what you have to deal with at longer ranges but you still want to do this in the best conditions possible and definitely with wind flags.

The idea is to shoot 3 shot groups, moving the tuner 1 mark at a time for about 8-10 groups. That's enough to take it through a full node cycle, being all the way in tune to all the way out and back in again. You'll likely see about 4-5 marks between all the way in to all the way out of tune...that's a half cycle and all we need to worry with going forward.

It's important to note group size and shape while doing this, so that you recognize tune and know how far you need to move the tuner to bring it back in when it goes out, due to condition changes.

Obviously, you can see why it's critical to minimize all variables while doing this. Once you have a good feel for group shape relative to each mark within that 4-5 mark window, you can carry testing out as far as you desire. The needed tuner changes will hold from 100 to infinity, meaning 1 mark out will look the same at 1000 as at 100. Same for 2 marks, 3 marks, etc. In use, I doubt you'll ever be more than 2 marks out based on condition changes. So, you're always working within a very small range and it's pretty much impossible to get lost once you establish a base tuner setting.

That leaves one big problem. While I'm more than happy to be of help however I can be, our laws do not allow me to export these, unfortunately.

Finally have one of your tuners in my hands……

I just recently put one of Dan’s tuners on a friend’s barrel it is very nice and leaves a lot of meat at the muzzle. He has a threading diagram on his site.

Cant beat the ezell tuner.

I agree! I own 4! (yes I've tried others).

Ahhh, thanks. The problem is I shoot F Class and can’t use a brake. Do you (or anyone) know of any tuners that fit the 5/8-24 thread that aren’t brakes?

Cortina makes adapters for his tuner too. https://www.shootsmallgroups.com/product/ec-tuner-thread-adapters/
