I picked up a new piper mt2 standard duty today for the Holbrook. It was $169.95, pretty cheap really for something still made in aus.

How easily does the centre turn Ew?
The one I have is stiff, I've always thought that it was bearing preload due to the high weight carrying capacity of the centre. Could be rooted though I did buy it new and boxed from Canada of all places.
