Air Arms Precihole Indian Partnership

[oldskoolzzz]

Been watching some 2024 Shooting show stuff.

Air Arns X200 Range and partnership with Indian manufacture Precihole

Seems these X200 range are the S200 replacement but I also note Precihole also manufacture springers.

I really doubt there will be a pro elite mk2 now if this new partnership will include Precihole springers.

It’s not a manufacture I’ve ever heard of before and I feel a little mixed with emotions about it but hopefully it will be a good thing especially with more model choices I guess.

Long established uk company allies itself to a cheaper manufacturer abroad and slaps its names on their inferior products. Call me cynical but it’s Webley all over again.

Yeah Chris, unfortunately my mixed feelings are certainly swinging that way

I hope I’m wrong though as it would be awful to see AA go diluted and end up not just like Webley but Diana as well

The Precihole guns have caught my interest earlier, they seem to have an interesting combination of features:

AA have rebranded good guns earlier, so I'm hopeful that this might be an opportunity to finally see the Precihole springers here in Europe.

Interesting evert,

It’s not a brand I’ve ever heard of before.

Just had a look at the precihole website they actually look fairly good I hope you are right with the rebranding of good guns as the CZ200 as we all know was superb.

IF they can make good money on rebranding imported guns of good quality, it might be a needed move to keep the company alive in today's economy.
Lets just hope the Precihole guns are good, and that AA also keeps the local production going.

Have to say this was my thought as well

Air Arms are only acting as an importer and distributor. Whatever the quality will be like, one thing is for certain.... It'll be miles better than that shite that comes from Sweden.

[oldskoolzzz]

Has there been any further updates with these hitting the dealers yet?

I’ve lost track a tad since the OP

I saw a copy of the brochure this week......I won't be holding my breath for their release....

Lol & a lot cheaper too.

I suspect they will start cheaper but not vastly, then if they prove popular expect steady price rises.
