Nope, you'd be wrong, it's a BSA action with a Gamo CAT trigger and their own stock design.
So if Gamo can sell a decent PCP at budget friendly prices thats been made in the UK - why can't AA?

It'll be interesting to see who gets the benefit of the lower Indian prices. Will AA split it with UK customers??? (doubt it!) For info, the NX200 Athena Classic with wood stock retails for £157 in India. Factory gate price obviously a lot less. Wait & see!

Nothing wrong with the CAT trigger which an M2.5x9mm screw doesn't sort out.
It's then a very decent trigger...

Maybe because one is a "cheap" gun and the other "premium". It's the same marketing BS as in the motorcycle market. You get what you pay for up to a point (example old SMK up to Gamo/Cometa), then the BS takes over.

Air arms had a budget uk gun in their stable once upon a time .......bought out falcon run it into the ground and shut it down ...... history doesn't lie
Even better looking than a HW35
I can't see why AA just don't scale down the Pro Elite and reproduce that, bung it in a pretty Prosport looking stock and leave off the fish scale checkering and we're all happy.
Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

Not quite correct. They didnt have any choice. The owner and kingpin of the Karachi, Pakistan based subcontractor of most of the components passed away and supplies dried up. It would not have been economical for the components to be made in the UKAir arms had a budget uk gun in their stable once upon a time .......bought out falcon run it into the ground and shut it down ...... history doesn't lie

I’m my opinion if they’re machined well and they use a lothar Walther barrel then they could end up okay but if they charge the thick end of £700 for a unknown Indian barrel aswell as action I think they will struggle.

Forgive me for asking because I know nothing about these sort of matters, can we really not produce components over here for a reasonable price, is it materials that cost more or the machining process? I would have thought by the time shipping costs and taxes are added then it would even out?

Labour and overhead costs are a lot higher here

What you mean is they can't do it - because whatever happens you need it to be an accurate performer and if they do that people might well question why the next step in their chain is nearly twice the price for very little added improvement.
