    I'm gutted if this is true. I've been going to Litts since I was a little boy. The service was often shocking but generally the guys in the shop were very helpful.

    I don't think the VCR Act will have been a significant factor in Litts' case - airguns and airgun paraphenalia have only ever been a marginal part of their business at best - they are/were mainly into high end shotguns and sporting rifles, along with FAC/shotgun related kit.

    I agree that service was generally bleedin' awful - I recently went in to buy some new boots (size 10), having checked beforehand that they were in stock - when I got there, the bloke behind the counter produced size 11 only and got the hump with me for having the gall to be fed up with having made a 50 mile drive for nothing...

    Litts problems were from very bad investments. Made most money from shotties and firearms.

    I'm not surprized!!! I was unfortunate enough to deal with Litt's once and if they treated all their customers like they did me, then good riddance.

    I've found in life you tend to reap what you sow...

    They won't be the last. As affordability descends, prices ascend, and banks become less flippant than of late, this type of occurance will prevail.

    The service was shocking to be fair. I waited over 3 months for a replacement rifle last year and that was mainly due to them waiting 2 months to order it!

    any bargains to be had? closing down sale?

    litts bust

    surprised at that considering the prices and level of rudeness wether you bought for airguns or firearms you had to wave your cash in thier face to get any kind of polite service .
    Prices were only ok if they had an offer on what you wanted .

    If things were that bad I cant understand why they were taking out two and even three page ads in things like the ST, and even having competitions like 'Win a Rizzini' on their website

    i expect they owe for the ads too, and as for the win a rizzini, did anyone?

    i would imagine they have left a lot of people in some financial difficulty, others will be able to swallow their losses, others may not be so lucky

    Remember you own the scopes till they pay for them. Get down quick and see the auditors.

    Hope you get more than a few pence in the pound.
