I haven’t seen one here and I don’t know exactly but I bet there might be some limitations getting them out of the USA. To be honest there are plenty of good tuner makers here and quite a few have at least one FCWC win to their credit. Mike Ezell does seem to be very knowledgeable on tuners but whether he has his tuners here or not I don’t know.

Get yourself a huntsman, locally made in Qld, top quality finish, very easy to use and I’ve won many comps with them, including the National teams, 3 out of 5 rifles fitted with them on the team.

Do you bother cleaning the inside of your huntsman? Carbon build up that is hard to remove seems to be the downside to them, especially when using a slower burning powder

Thankyou to all who have replied.
Barrel tuners seem to be draped in a shroud, or maybe I'm just paranoid about the workings of the dark arts.
So I have put a skeleton motif on my stock and embraced the darker side of fringed society and ordered a couple from BRT.
Let the voodo magic begin.

I take mine off every time I clean the barrel 70-80 rounds and clean the carbon.

Ezell barrel tuners are easy to get. I've got 2 on the way right now via Reloading International. They stock them and there's no paperwork required to get one. I've also got an Erik Cortina tuner sitting idly by.

I have a PDT tuner on one of my FTR barrels, I know a prominent shooter here in Oz who also uses one.
From memory they are filled with tungsten powder for the dampening qualities. The testing I did with mine showed a lot of promise, and only small incremental adjustments made a lot of difference on the target.
The only issue I have with them are the 3 grub screws that lock it up onto the barrel, I could change my POI just by tightening those screws in different sequences.

I don't know the technical side of tuners, but I do know that I could get a load with a high ES to group really well at mid distances, after playing around with it.
