Stevo,
We have the Redding 6mm BR Rem dies for the club Savage 12F, and they work fine.

Stevo,
The 6BR website could be worth a look. Here's their Q & A page for it:

Yes, 6BR Rem and 6BR Norma dies would be the same. The only difference between the 2 is a .050" longer neck, so no worries on the dies.

Hi all,
So i finally... got my rifle
took its sweet time shipping over from the US, however im still trying to decide what style of rest/bi-pod to use. I had been considering using an F-Class bipod as opposed to a bench rest style rest. Has anyone had any experience with
http://www.sinclairintl.com/.aspx/sid=71309/pid=38190/Product/SINCLAIR_F_CLASS_BIPOD__SATIN_BLACK_ ? are they any good? or can anyone suggest a good F-Class bipod i might be able to look into?
Cheers,

See a lot of people using bipods for F-Class but never seen anyone using the sinclair one.
I believe it's main benefit is light weight but who knows.
As for where to best get one
http://www.qldrifle.com/QRAshop.htm is where I would start
and also here

Stevo,
No experience but I don't think the height adjustment is as good as the Australian ones, which have a knob to wind up and down - the Sinclair only has clamps by the look of it.
I presume you'll be having an Anchutz rail inletted into the fore-end to attach the bipod?

I hadn't actually thought about how i would go about attaching it yet, was more trying to narrow down the type of bipod and then subsequently the type of attachment that would be required.
is the davies the main australian F-class bipod? or are there others too which i havent found?
has anyone used the davies one linked? if so any opinions on it?
thanks

Jenny, Adam and myself all use one. Results speak for themselves.

Anschutz Type rail Stevo, gives the best stability and allows for positioning along the fore-end to obtain best balance position.
