Indian in origin.
They had a break barrel rammer that does 20Joule, don't see the point myself.
They do a spring version, supposed to be better quality than the budget offerings.
Air Arms are not branding these guns, just the importer and distributer.
They haven't got any. They don't know the prices.
Repariere nicht, was nicht kaputtist.
TX200 Hunter Carbine Beech right handed is £719.00. Add in a reasonable scope mounts and accessories and 20 tins of pellets and that is £1000.
It's rather a lot to invest in a sport if you are not sure you'll get serious about it.
So a budget line of springers might bring in more customers to AA in time.
I don't really like the name Precise Hole but thats because I've been in Scotland for a while. Also the rifles have that 'trying too hard' look to them that you don't get with HW or Diana. Hmm.
Precihole manufacture the sights fitted to Air Arms MPR Precision 10 metre air rifles, the sights let down the gun and are not worth purchasing/need replacing asap.
I'm also into tractor restoration, many replacement non genuine parts are made in India and are a pain to make fit and are avoided by most enthusiasts for this reason.
I'd be surprised if guns made in India are any better.
Indian guns of any kind (like their cars and motorbikes) haven’t historically had a great reputation. To put it mildly.
Of course we should keep an open mind, and maybe AA’s involvement will bear dividends in terms of quality.
But not holding my breath.
Meh... just a ploy to keep AA rifles in their market position selling over-priced 'high end' guns and 'special editions' to those easily impressed by such gimmicks.
Meaning they'd find it difficult to get market share in the budget end where Gamo and Chinese PCP's dominate without devaluing their own products.
So instead they'll just re-sell the Pie-Hole range of guns...
Sorry AA, not interested...I'd rather buy a Gamo that was made by a British company here thanks.
I'm on a Slight tangent, but yes early 90's Enfield motorcycles were poor, however jump to the last 5-6 years the Enfield name is right up there with sales, and the Himalayan dominated the light adventure market
So much so that other manufacturers are building models for that cheaper than b#w GS territory
Would be a shame to see a classic make disappear into the ethos like AA, but I suppose with far eastern models starting at £2-300 which for most will do the job, it was always going to move that way
