Hello there, shooting folks!
With so many products out there, it makes a real difference to work with companies that stand behind their work. They bring a strong resolve and a genuine drive for customer service. That isn’t easy to come by during a pandemic, but Wildcat and Praesidia are a matched pair of companies that stand out.
A Company That Fits the Solution to You
When you’re looking for a product that performs over the years, you want service and engineering to match your needs. Sometimes those needs aren’t off the shelf. Wildcat from UK Custom Shop have gone above and beyond consistently in making sure the solution fits. Alison Green, Trade Sales Manager at Wildcat, has been a great resource. She helped determine the size, fit, and function of the Predator 8 for my latest addition, a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor.
I had dealt with the Wildcat team before, when they helped with my Predator 8 for a .300 Win Mag. I also have a Predator 8 on my .308. The trifecta of P8s makes it simple to manage and interchange baffles as needed. Each one stays specific to its calibre and barrel muzzle threads. They’re easy to clean and maintain, thanks to a well-engineered design built for serviceability.
Getting the Fit Right
With the specifications worked out alongside Alison, Chris Lloyd from our shop ordered the unit. When it arrived, it was a perfect fit. The goal was to have the back-tube cover the barrel up to the forend. Some of that was for looks, but it was also there to reduce recoil as much as possible.
A Custom Praesidia Cover
Josh Banner, the Praesidia point man, received an unusual request: a red-on-black motif for a moderator cover, scope cover, and ammunition wallet. It helps protect the gear while livening up the theme beyond the usual camouflage or black options. Josh went outside his usual sourcing, got the materials, and got on with it. Shortly afterwards, the Ruger Precision was ready for the range to zero it in. It all came together just in time for the range to reopen.
Get in Touch
Special thanks to Alison, Josh, and Richard, who did the work on the covers for an amazing job. The rifle shoots like a tame kitten with great accuracy and will be enjoyed for years to come. If you need advice, they are the team to talk to. If you need the shop to arrange it for you, including an RFD transfer, Chris Lloyd is there to sort it out. He’ll pass your details along to fit your needs.
