Air Arms market survey / consultation

[robs5230]

So Air Arms have decided to ask the shooting public what they want from them. Kindly put up by Rich on the other forum.

Please have a look at this. Its simply a click and submit form.

If anyone does fancy an AA break barrel, heres the opportunity to tell them

I'd suggest not ticking springer as they could interpret that choice as any springer in their current range. Just select break barrel.

Remember they want to see what you want, not what you have

Submitted. I chose break barrel, all calibers, laminate & wood, oh and mag capacity of 10.

For some reason (I hope that the reason isn't that they want to get the answers they'd like), this survey has gone out on their Facebook page.

Not a very good market research, if you're only asking exisiting owners what they want. They'll end up with a load of replies from contented TX and S410 owners

Haven't they done this before? And then they bring out another PCP. As AA themselves said, not a big enough market / profit to make a nice break barrel. Mach 1.5

Unfortunately you are correct Paul - little to no chance of them producing another Break Barrel.

Although many of us would like to see a 'scaled down' ProElite' designed as a sub 12fpe rifle, in the great scheme of the AA Business, we are but a very tiny number.

I've filled it in, but it's just not specific enough to give them any real direction, as apart from the break barrel they do all of it already Perhaps it should have been a questionnaire on "what would you like to see on our questionnaire?"

Yes, TX internals but break barrel. If they redesigned the TX anti bear trap they could even use the same stock pretty much!

I filled it in with aluminium stock would love to see their attempt at a better 10m rifle than they currently do.

A scaled down pro elite or re-engineered Hw99 or scaled down and re-engineered hw95.

Either of those would be great, so long as the firing manners and reliability are good, I’d be on board.

So absolutely no chance of a decent sub12 side lever then...

Get them to make a Webley Longbow Sidewinder compact, with CD trigger, Sorted. ..

I know this has probably been debated before but why is this? Weihrauch have about ten break barrels in their line up and they have no issues selling them. Do we know what it is AirArms don’t believe they’d be competitive on?

They managed to get a piece of Weihrauch’s market share with the TX, I wonder why they don’t think it’s viable with a break barrel. I know the Pro Elite was a bit of a flop, but that was for other reasons.

Not even anywhere to put ideas/suggestions so it's pretty obvious it's just a paperwork exercise, so they can say they've asked, rather than serious market research.
Simply offering .20cal would be an improvement.

[robs5230]

Pointless debating what they will or won't do.
Just fill the form in and tell 'em what you do want.
They'll either take note or not.

For those that think sales of HW break barrels demonstrate a market for an AA version answer me this. When was the last time HW developed a Break barrel rifle pretty much from scratch??
