I look at the price of the air arms and think I paid slightly more for my second Hand Steyr LP10 and i know which i would rather have.

I bought the shrouded CO2 version from the Czech Republic 3 years ago, at their RRP of (then) 215 Euros inc VAT at 19.5%. Post to UK was 20 Euros inc VAT. The Euro/£ rate at the time was 1.4099, making the total cost to me £165, nothing more to pay; no Vat, no import duty, nada.
I know the £ has gone down to 1.1127 Euro/£, but you do the maths and decide if there is maybe a rip-off factor somewhere.
£153 to just over £400 in around 1500 miles and 3 years. Someone is really taking the p*ss.
I'll go and make a coffee while the excuses such as warranties, spares, distributors etc. roll in. lol
